The Kowhai Festival will go ahead as planned this year and the theme is Kowhai Carnival.
Festival committee member Angela Thomas says it will resemble Rio de Janeiro’s famous street parties.
“Think feathers and funky masks, not creepy clowns,” Angela says.
White Chapel Jak will be the headline act and the popular beer garden will return to the wharf.
The festival’s Huge Day Out will again be held on a Sunday, October 18. Having the event on a Sunday was trialled at last year’s event and proved popular.
Angela says community groups, businesses, not-for-profits, market crafters and food vendors need to book their stalls as soon possible, as spaces are limited and already filling up.
She says the festival is the biggest commercial opportunity of the year in Warkworth and the best way for community groups to be seen.
