Expressions of interest are open now for Fusion15, Wagga’s annual celebration of cultural diversity, community harmony and the arts.

Last year’s event drew a crowd of more than 10,000 people of all ages and backgrounds and Fusion 15 is set to be even bigger and better.

Along with eclectic performances, mouth-watering food, local produce and pop-up shops, this year’s festival will also add a body, mind and soul village.

Are you passionate about produce?

Do you subscribe to the ‘paddock to the plate’ philosophy?

Want to wow people with your creative wares?

Why not create a temporary ‘pop up’ style retail space right in the heart of the city?
