Now in its second year, the Creative Wauchope Festival is again gearing up to showcase an array of local talent on Saturday 11 May in Bain Park. Locals and visitors can book in to one of the many workshops being held around Wauchope on the day or come down and enjoy the festival atmosphere in Bain Park.
The festival brings together local creative talent, with a focus on homemade local art, craft and creative pursuits. It is a one-day family friendly community event designed to raise awareness and encourage participation and interest in all forms of the arts.
The Creative Wauchope Festival aims to inspire, engage, support and connect the creative community of Wauchope; bringing the vibrancy of creativity into the retail environment and the public realm for locals and visitors alike.
Creative Wauchope is an initiative of the thriving creative community in Wauchope. This vibrant and active group of retailers, artists and designers is banding together to promote the many creative industries that Wauchope has to offer.
The festival has been enabled in part by a Regional Arts NSW Country Arts Support Program (CASP) grant. Creative Wauchope is a subcommittee of the Wauchope Chamber of Commerce.
Just in time for Mothers' Day - book Mum in to one of the many workshops being held on the day - grab a coffee and watch local dancers and musicians perform, soak up the atmosphere with the family in beautiful Bain Park or peruse the market stalls for a great, locally made gift.
