The George Street Association has shifted its mask requirements for the final evening of George Street Festival following widespread reaction to images of large, closely-packed crowds on the street over the weekend.
The association says all attendees and participants must wear masks that cover both their nose and mouth at all times tonight, except when actively eating or drinking.
