FUSION BOTANICAL 2024: Call-out for Expressions of Interest

Published: 15 Jul 2024 10:03am

The much-loved springtime festival, FUSION BOTANICAL is returning on Saturday 19 October 2024 to the spectacular Wagga Wagga Botanic Gardens Precinct, Turvey Park – and you can be part of it!

Wagga Wagga City Council and long-term cultural partners - the Multicultural Council of Wagga Wagga, are inviting expressions of interest from local performers, and street food and drink vendors to help entertain and feed festivalgoers.

Council’s Director Community Janice Summerhayes said this year’s festival is expected to be well supported by locals and draw crowds from across the Riverina region this spring.

“Wagga Wagga City Council’s FUSION BOTANICAL festival has grown to become a highlight on the region’s events calendar since its inception in 2011,” Ms Summerhayes said.

“Planning is underway for this year’s FUSION in October and we’re curating a fun diverse line-up of music and entertainment to be announced closer to the event.

“Along with the live music, the street food precinct is a popular part of this community event, and festival goers can look forward to feasting on authentic and modern street style food again this year.

“Many geographical regions are represented in the World Food Village, from Europe to the Middle East, through to Asia and the Americas.

“We’re also looking for community performers to help add to the vibrant festival atmosphere.”

GREAT FUN: FUSION BOTANICAL promises lots of fun activities for all ages. In 2023, Guru Dudu presented Silent Disco Walking Tours.

To apply, submit your Expression of Interest by 5pm, Friday 16 August 2024.
