MardiGrass2021 is going ahead and ‘We’re planning it like there’s no Corona but who knows what will be going on with COVID by the first weekend in May,’ said MardiGrass Organising Body (MOB) president, Michael Balderstone.
‘It could be jabs all round or rampant corona so obviously we have to wait ‘n see. ‘
The first meeting to organise the event was recently held in the HEMP Bar in Nimbin with a meeting with the police to discuss the event on 27 January.
‘We all agreed it is impossible to pick what will be going on with corona in three months time. And the rules for gatherings change endlessly, so our plans will have to be super flexible,’ said Mr Balderstone.
