Due to an unexpected and heavy rainfall in Queensland, the Ekka's Grand Parade has been postponed. The downpour was so intense that two rides, The Beast and The Giant Slide, had to be closed and several displays had to be cancelled. As a result, the event has been rescheduled to Saturday.
Brendan Christou, the chief executive of Queensland's Royal National Agricultural and Industrial Association, reassured everyone that despite the weather, they are still expecting around 40,000 visitors to attend the event today. In an interview with The Courier Mail, he mentioned that the forecast for the rest of the week looks much more promising. The decision to postpone the parade was made to avoid damaging the arena and to ensure the safety of the participants, especially those involved in show jumping.
Christou also acknowledged that while it may be the wettest People's Day in recent memory, there is still a sense of excitement and celebration among the public. He pointed out that the rain is a blessing for farmers across the state, but they are looking forward to the next few days being dry.
The Grand Parade is a highly anticipated event at the Ekka, especially on People's Day, which is a public holiday. This year, it will showcase over 500 animals, including dairy cattle, dogs, and other champions. It is a spectacle that is not to be missed.
