I just checked the calendar and mg parade & party was March 4th - Saturday night. But heaps of American's (and everyone else) come over for a couple of weeks before the party to "do the festival" and make sure they go home with a Sydney tan. Most guys make sure they do the two main parties - Harbour Party (which is usually two weeks beofre MG party) and the MG party so to exactitude on the date, as I said before it was anytime Feb leading up to 4 March - assuming it was 2006 in C/L land.
