BridgeClimb Celebrates with The Mardi Gras Climb

Back by popular demand, you’ll be dancing all the way to the top of a Sydney icon on this year’s Mardi Gras Climb. Literally. With your Climb Leader as your guide, you will be entertained with an eclectic 80s soundtrack in between hearing stories of the Bridge’s and Sydney’s past.

Once you reach the summit, you’ll be able to perform karaoke on a stage like no other! Choose from a selection of classic 80s tracks and get into character with items from our Novelty Prop Box. You’ll receive an 8s video of your performance which is yours to keep.
