Children’s Festival will be held in this year at Darling Harbour Sydney
Sydney’s highly successful Children’s Festival will make a return in June after more than two years of cancellations due to Covid.
Mr. Thuat Nguyen AM
The Festival President, Mr. Thuat Nguyen AM, said today: “ We are excited to announce that we will bring the Children’s Festival to an important new high-profile location on 26th June this year.
“Over
the past 23 years we have staged successful children’s festivals in Canterbury,
Bankstown, Marrickville, Campbelltown and Sydney City.
“The new venue is the
beautiful Pyrmont Bay Park on the waterfront opposite The Star, Sydney Casino
in Darling Harbour.
“This will be a great location to show off the talent of
Sydney’s children and to share the cultures of our rich multicultural society
as well all strive to recover our normal life, post Covid
“We will announce
more details in coming weeks”, he said.
Meanwhile the organisation has set out to help local communities across the city and across the state and the nation to stage their own public events for children, post Covid, with a comprehensive publication: “How to Successfully Organise Children ‘s Festivals”
The
guide was launched at the organisation’s Annual General Meeting, at the
weekend.
It provides, chapter and verse, on how to set up an organisation and
how to plan and stage a successful festival for children of all backgrounds.
The work is very detailed, very complete and easy to follow.
It is
published on-line at the Children’s Festival website (http://www.childrensfestival.org.au/)
and will be updated and amended whenever there is important new information
available.
This is the second publication produced by the organisation over
the time of the pandemic during which six separate festivals had to be
cancelled.
The first book – Playing Together and Living in Harmony - launched in December 2020 told the story, in words and pictures, of the first two decades of the event in Canterbury, Bankstown, Marrickville, Campbelltown and Sydney city.
Mr Thuat Nguyen AM told Australian Media that
Annual General Meeting: “It is no doubt that our Children’s Festival has
effectively contributed to building harmony in the community apart from
providing fun for children and their families.
“These publications have
maintained the organisation’s enthusiasm over the past two difficult years and
allowed us to be ready to plan for bigger and better festivals in the future”,
he said.
