Mardi Gras Festival

The Consulate General was delighted to support the 2015 Irish Community Mardi Gras Float

The Consulate General was delighted to support and sponsor the 2015 Irish Community Mardi Gras Float. This was the first time in over a decade that an Irish community float took part in Mardi Gras. The float celebrated the close links between Ireland and Australia and guest of honour was Panti Bliss who travelled from Ireland to be part of the celebrations.

The short video below from Tourism Ireland features behind the scenes footage of the making of the 2015 float.
