CREATE Festival to see Narrabri Shire become a living canvas.
Published on 01 February 2024
Celebrating creativity across Narrabri Shire, CREATE Festival 2024 will see the seamless connection of community and innovation.
Getting underway from 8 March 2024, the annual CREATE Festival will see our Shire become a living canvas over 16 days, offering a unique experience for everyone.
Curated by Council, this year’s CREATE Festival embraces the theme of “Country”, providing a heartfelt tribute to our Indigenous history and our rural roots, and invites everyone to explore the beauty that defines our Shire’s landscape.
Narrabri Shire Deputy Mayor Brett Dickinson said the CREATE Festival would offer a unique experience for all.
“Council is thrilled to support this exciting event, which sees our community come together to create and enjoy this festival, which keeps going from strength to strength every year,” Cr Dickinson said.
“From its opening night right through to 24 March, this year’s CREATE Festival provides the chance to appreciate our local creativity and is a fantastic opportunity to discover your own – and everyone else's – hidden artistic talents.”
Craft shops, galleries, exhibitions and creative workshops are among the activities featured at this year’s CREATE Festival.
Opening night of the festival on 8 March will feature artworks across three spaces, including a ‘Walk With Us’ installation and the exhibition Art After Brain Injury.
Live music and a chance to get your portrait drawn further add to what will be a magical evening.
Further highlights of the CREATE Festival include the much-loved annual CBD street party, NarraBRIGHT, which is set to dazzle on 15 March from 6.00pm.
Celebrating the vibrant community, CBD and businesses of Narrabri, NarraBRIGHT will see the main street bursting with colour, music, entertainment, food, art installations and much more.
