From Shakespeare and Modern Australian Art to Markets and Jazz: Ellenbrook Festival a success!

Winding up over the weekend with a jazz sundowner, featuring Libby Hammer and Hip Mo’ Toast, and open-air performances of Shakespeare’s Othello, Festival Manager Heather Awcock said the feedback for all events had been extremely positive.

“We had an estimated 7000 plus people come to the various festival events, which for a festival in its first year has been great. Visitors were not only residents from the local areas, but we also had people from all over the metropolitan area and rural areas visit Ellenbrook for the various events,” The Festival Manager Ms Awcock said.

The Ellenbrook Festival was launched on October 24th with the opening of the prestigious Treasures from the TarraWarra Art exhibition in The Gallery, 34 Main Street.  Other events over the five weeks of the festival included a World of Culture Day and a highly successful Market Day.
