The SacredEdge festival embraced Queenscliff’s dynamic community at the weekend, with many people from diverse backgrounds sharing their stories with other locals and visitors.

Hosted at Queenscliff Uniting Church from May 3 until May 5, the three-day festival’s program included local art, poetry, music, workshops and discussions on Indigenous communities, refugees, LGBTIQ people, mental health and environmental issues.

Special guest and local marine biologist Melanie Wells was a crowd favourite, while a highly anticipated performance from Mojo Juju and Lior wowed audiences.

Festival coordinator Kerrie Lingham said the Uniting Church was delighted to host the festival for the sixth time.
