Bowen Cultural & Seafood Festival
|
Bowen Cultural and Seafood Festival featuring an Indigenous theme is a must see event for 2010, for all tourists and locals alike! The festival is only in its second year and will build on last year’s successes significantly to create a bigger and better festival than the last! The festival will kick off with childrens and family activities on the Saturday morning. Included will be activities such as fence painting, a skate competition, childrens art activities and much more! The fun will continue with entertainment from local performers on Saturday afternoon, followed by the major concert in the evening which will showcase four groups of professional Indigenous performers in music, dance, singing and comedy. The performance will blend traditional Indigenous culture with contemporary music. Performers include Sean Choolburra, Marcus Corowa, ARC Dreaming, David Hudson & Johnny Nicol.
Wonderful local seafood straight from the fishing boats, local Indigenous dishes including crocodile, kangaroo, emu and bushtucker, and a kup murri cooked on the beach will be served throughout the night. Enjoy the dining experience with a drink from the bar whilst watching the exciting outdoor concert at the soundshell on the Bowen foreshore. Well worth a day trip – better still stay overnight to enjoy Sunday’s markets, combined church service and more entertainment at the Bowen Soundshell. Seaside location, local fresh seafood, endless activities with community participation & brilliant live performances with a mix of cultural awareness; how could you ask for a better way to spend your weekend! Hope to see you at the Bowen Cultural & Seafood Festival for 2010 made possible by Festivals Australia, Queensland Events and the Whitsunday Regional Council.
