Sydney's Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras parade will be relocated from Oxford Street for a second year in a row, with organisers saying the move provides the best shot of proceeding amid Covid-19 uncertainties.
Possible ongoing restrictions and potential further Covid-19 outbreaks mean a ticketed event at the SCG is the best way to go, Mardi Gras chief executive Albert Kruger says, with organisers able to adjust the 2022 event accordingly.
'There's still uncertainty of what March is going to look like for us,' he said on Thursday.
