STATE election day in Creswick won\u2019t just be a serious, democratic occasion, but a chance to have some fun too.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, 26 November, CresFest organisers will host an Election Day Fiesta at the Creswick Neighbourhood Centre from 9am to 4pm.<\/p>\n
Musical performers will include the Creswick Kids Choir, the Geelong\u2019s MarimbaTaters, and one-man band Phil Melgaard.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have an ongoing commitment to bring live music to Creswick year-round, and alongside running concerts, we also support community music playing,\u201d said CresFest convenor Judy Turner.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe also want to make the most of every possible opportunity to bring the joy of music to everyone, and as the Neighbourhood Centre is the home of the festival, it makes sense to run something there as people come and vote.<\/p>\n
\u201cCresFest members co-founded the Creswick Chorus, the Creswick Kids Choir, and the ukulele group. We also want to give them opportunities to perform.\u201d<\/p>\n
There\u2019ll be plenty of \u201cdemocracy sausages\u201d and cakes, attendees can have a go at playing the marimbas, and be entertained by juggling and hoola-hooping.<\/p>\n
Funds raised by the barbecue will go towards CresFest 2023\u2019s parade and Latin dance extravaganza, and cheaper festival tickets will be sold at the Neighbourhood Centre on the day.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want locals to find the festival accessible, to be there in big numbers, and we\u2019ll give them a taste of what they can expect,\u201d Ms Turner said.<\/p>\n
CresFest organisers have been staging monthly concerts this year, and the fiesta will act as the November gig.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
