Disco On The Green

Get ready to groove under the stars at one of Sydney’s most beloved Mardi Gras+ events — Disco On The Green, returning to The Erko Bowlo on Sunday, 7 March 2027. This free, all-ages, family-friendly celebration blends retro disco vibes with modern queer joy, perfect for everyone from toddlers to grandmas who still know the Macarena.

Set against the laid-back charm of Erskineville’s green spaces and bowling greens, this event is less about pounding beats and more about community, laughter, and letting loose with your favourite people. Think glittery picnic blankets, disco lawn bowls (yes, really), and the kind of dancing where no one notices if you’re off-beat.

Hosted by the legendary Sandy Bottom, this year’s lineup pulls together an eclectic mix of camp DJs, drag royalty, and cabaret performers who know how to turn a bowling club into a glitter dome. Whether you’re sipping a mocktail with the kids or swapping stories with new friends, there’s space for everyone — and we mean everyone. Wheelchair accessible, inclusive, and proudly supported by optional donations that go directly to rainbow organisations across NSW.

Feeling lucky? Don’t miss the raffle — prizes include gift cards, locally made merch, and maybe even a golden lawn bowl trophy. Bring your sunscreen, your best boogie moves, and a picnic basket to claim your spot on the grass.

Pro tip: Bring a reusable cup or water bottle. Sustainability is part of the vibe.
