The Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras is set to return to free-to-air TV this year with a live broadcast on SBS2.

Tom Ballard and SBS2 presenter Patrick Abboud will host the tele-cast alongside actress and musician Heather Peace.

The event isn’t being broadcast live but will be shown the following evening on Sunday March 2nd.

Which for some of us means we can go to the parade, go to the party, fly back across the country and then watch it all over again!
