TikTok has returned for its second year as a partner of the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras.

TikTok’s Mardi Gras float will feature Australian pop singer Wafia as headline act, alongside a string of LGBTQ+ TikTok creators, including @nat.elise, a single mum who came out as bisexual on TikTok last year; @rainbowhistoryclass (aka Rudy and Hannah) who educate the TikTok community with queer and trans history lessons; and @carlafrombankstown, a comedian from the South Western suburbs of Sydney.

Those who are not able to attend the parade on the 5th of March will be able to view the TikTok float through a TikTok live from the event, set to be hosted by TikTok creators @mitchellcoombs, @nat.alise, @alright.hey and @jakebfisher from 7pm on the day. The platform will also be running a Mardi Gras hashtag challenge in the leadup to the event, with the creators of the most creative videos to win double passes to the parade.
