Organised by Leeds nightlife entrepreneurs Terry George and Shaun Wilson, Mardi Gras is the latest addition to a growing list of festivals in and around Yorkshire. It is one of the first festivals to take place in the UK following the devastating Covid pandemic. Here are some of the best pictures of festival goers at the event, can you spot yourself?!
