The 2020 theme VIP subverts the standard trans and gender diverse (TGD) narrative – that of being discriminated against and marginalised – and instead have all our participants step into the role of Very Important People for the night.
TPA formed a working group to design and build our most ambitious float to date. The team worked on the weekends throughout January and February at the Mardi Gras workshop to build and deliver the float. It was a massive undertaking.
We were honoured to be nominated for Best Float Design and Ron Austin Award for Most Fabulous Parade Entry.
