Art has a remarkable ability to inspire, uplift, and awaken our inner creativity. The Mackay Festival of Arts, a vibrant celebration of artistic expression, provides a perfect avenue for our community to explore an artistic side, even if they weren't aware of it before. With a wide array of events and activities that cater to diverse interests, this festival invites you to immerse yourself in a world of imagination and cultural experiences.
The festival commenced with a burst of energy as the MECC transformed into a spandex-filled extravaganza last Saturday. "Werk It" by Circus Trick Tease, was an adults-only circus event known for its sass, swagger, colour, and acrobatic feats.
Throughout the week, the Civic Centre Precinct has blossomed into a vibrant hub of street food, craft beer, and sensational entertainment. From July 3 running this weekend until July 9, visitors have been treated to standout performances like "Le Coup" in the Japanese-inspired Ukiyo tent.
The festival's ongoing events continue to ignite the imagination and beckon individuals to explore their artistic passions. From a neon paint and sip session to a captivating live theatre production by Kucom, the possibilities for self-expression are boundless. And for those with a penchant for indulging in exquisite flavours, the gin tasting evening at the Seabreeze Hotel promises to be an experience to savour—a chance to immerse oneself in the complex world of botanical delights. That’s what I’ll be telling myself as I raise a glass or two, in the name of art, of course.
As the festival continues to unfold, take a moment to appreciate the remarkable opportunity the Mackay Festival of Arts provides to awaken your creative soul. Whether you're an avid art enthusiast or a newcomer to the world of artistic expression, this festival invites you to embrace the joy of creation.
Or, just indulge in some great food and drink and enjoy the colourful party atmosphere.
