Parrtjima light festival moves live events out of Alice Springs mall because of crime concerns
Organisers of a major tourism drawcard event in Alice Springs say no live events will be held in the town’s mall this year because of concerns about potential anti-social behaviour.
Key points:

- Teenagers allegedly drove a stolen car through the location last year
- A local business owner says the area is a crime hotspot

The event is a multi-day festival featuring workshops, live performances and large art installations.
