Our Impact
Testimonials
The performance was amazing! So many happy and unforgettable memory-making experiences…we’re inspired to keep tapping into our creativity. The Festival gets better and better every year!
Faces were painted, games were played, origami was folded and great food was enjoyed. Thank you for giving us such as fun filled, memory making day! We are already excited about next year!
I love how this festival supports new faces and art, and makes space for them on the festival stages, to share their traditions, cultural practises and creative expression.
