MardiGrass Cannabis Law Reform Rally & Parade
The Nimbin MardiGrass Parade is not a spectator sport. Please feel free to join the parade and show your support for pot law reform.
Last year’s program
If you haven’t been to MardiGrass before, a look at the previous years programs will give you a good idea of what happens. Camping at the showground is limited and was almost to capacity this year so it’s maybe a good idea to book early for 2025!
