Milbi arts gathering takes over CBD – Bundaberg Now – Medical Marijuana Program Connection

This year’s Milbi Festival will see a creative collective of artists and arts events take over the Bundaberg CBD as part of The Gathering.

The Gathering will be on the first weekend of the festival, from 28-29 October, and offers a range of free programs for festival goers to enjoy.

Council’s Arts, Culture and Events portfolio spokesperson Councillor John Learmonth said The Gathering was a showcase of the great depth of creativity in the region.

“The Gathering is a chance for the community to soak in the creativity of the region, and to appreciate the close ties between art, culture and the environment,” Cr Learmonth said.

“As part of The Gathering, Milbi Festival goers will have the opportunity to hear great music, to participate in art making activities and to meet wonderful local and national contemporary artists.

“Arts is one of the three pillars of the Milbi Festival, and it’s fantastic to be able to see so much creative talent in the CBD during the festival.”
