Matteo Downtown, an Italian restaurant in the Sydney CBD, will host a Drag Bottomless Lunch on Parade Day, 6 March 2027, to start the biggest day of Sydney Mardi Gras 2027 the right way. The event brings LGBTQIA+ community members, allies, friends and families together for a long, celebratory lunch before the Parade.
Guests will enjoy a menu of Matteo’s Italian favourites made for sharing, alongside free-flowing drinks. The format follows the Italian tradition of a long lunch, with plates passed around the table and glasses topped up as the afternoon unfolds.
Drag performances will run throughout the afternoon, bringing energy, humour and colour to the room. The venue will be styled for the festival, creating a setting where guests can celebrate openly and comfortably.
Matteo Downtown is an inclusive space where everyone is welcome to come as they are. The lunch celebrates the community at the heart of Mardi Gras and gives guests a place to gather, toast the day and head into Parade night in full spirit. Its CBD location makes it an easy first stop before the Parade.
