The annual Melbourne Cup parade that has run through the city every year since 1983 - except for pandemic years - has been cancelled.
The Melbourne Cup Parade is a tradition which has run every year since 1983 except in 2020 and 2021 when halted by the pandemic.
VRC chief executive Steve Rosich said the club looked forward to soon unveiling its plans for Melbourne Cup eve celebrations. However, the parade has become a flashpoint for animal rights protests and has been under pressure for several years with councillor Rohan Leppert moving an unsuccessful motion in 2019 to scrap it.Leppert said he continued to oppose the use of ratepayers’ money for the Melbourne Cup parade, which involved shutting down trams along city streets.
Celotto said the group had been planning a demonstration at this year’s Melbourne Cup parade before it was cancelled.
