ESCÁNDALO – Sydney’s biggest queer Latinx party

Hola mi amor!

Mardi Gras doesn’t officially begin until ESCÁNDALO kicks the doors open... and this year we’re lighting up the program from day one. We’re opening the festival on Friday 13 February with a night that promises pure fuego, fierce Latinx flavour, and the wild energy that only ESCÁNDALO can bring.

Get ready for una noche of pure perreo, sweating, dancing, jaw-dropping drag show, and all the bangers that make your hips move like Shakira, Karol G, Thalía, JLo, Bad Bunny, and more.

This isn’t just another night out. ESCÁNDALO is where Latin beats meet queer joy... a space to dance, connect, and celebrate who we are sin vergüenza.

Whoever you are, queer, ally, bestie, chismosx, or just here for the vibes... you’re super bienvenidx!

Expect:

  • Reggaeton, Latin pop & diva anthems

  • Drag show that will leave you gagging

  • A crowd full of love, colour & chaos

Grab your amigxs, your primxs, or your latest situationship and come to celebrate nuestra cultura.

ESCÁNDALO — Where everybody is welcome. Always.
