The area is currently hosting a number of Sydney WorldPride 2023 events and the annual Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras on Saturday night. The hoardings of the buildings being redeveloped have been decorated with rainbow colours and murals created by Amy Blue, which tell the history of the LGBTIQA+ community in this area.

This "Rainbow Crossing" was installed across Oxford Street at Taylor Square, in the inner city suburb of Darlinghurst. The crossing was installed on a trial basis for this year's Sydney Mardi Gras, but many people have signed a petition to make it a permanent, visual acknowledgement of the significance of Oxford Street to the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community. I know this theme day is supposed to be about pedestrians actually crossing but due to my aversion of having people in my photos, I didn't actually capture any shots with pedestrians on this crossing.
