On this episode of GLAM City, we speak to Robyn Kennedy, original 78er and Secretary and Treasurer of First Mardi Gras Inc.

We get a history lesson on the events of June 24 1978 in preparation for the 40th anniversary of the first Mardi Gras in Sydney.

We find out about upcoming events including Queer Art: 40 Years of Rebellion and Subversion. More information on events held by First Mardi Gras Inc, can be found on their website.
