Join Arts North West in the beautiful Glen Innes parklands for Lift Off! The Festival of Wind on Sunday 1 September. A day of free family fun to celebrate Glen Innes Severn Community’s newest icon, The White Rock Wind Farm and Spring’s return, with a day of arts activity stalls and music in King Edward Park.
The focus is on community participation for all with creativity at the fore. Local artists will run a number of wind-related arts activities including kite making, wind toys, eco wind chimes, paper plane constructions and more. With the help of The Bubble Lady and her amazing secret formula, come and enjoy making your very own amazing giant Bubbles at her Interactive Bubble Stations.
Arts North West will also be joining forces with The Makers Shed as The High-Country Handmade Showcase joins in the festivities. This unique handmade shopping experience is for those seeking to meet the artisans behind some of the region's finest products and get tips on their skills. Live music will also be a feature with a series of performances by local choirs, wind and brass players from 10am to 2pm.
The day will culminate in a performance by carrot player extraordinaire Linsey Pollak at The Chapel Theatre at 3pm. Linsey is well-known all-around Australia as a musician, instrument maker, composer, musical director and community music facilitator. Tickets $5 at www.giac.com.au
