The parade which will start the Alice Desert Festival will finish up on Anzac Oval – contrary to earlier expectations.
 
Events manager Mary-Jane Reynolds says: “I was mistaken when I mentioned that council would not allow use of sporting facilities.
 
“Last year the timing of our event clashed with some sports finals, so obviously the matches take priority.
 
“I had misunderstood and thought that events were not permitted. I have apologised to Council.
 
“As a result of the discussions that followed we are really happy to announce that the parade will conclude on Anzac oval.
 
“Cassandra Williams will play as the parade enters the oval and the audience can watch from the grandstand.”
