NarraBRIGHT set to light up Maitland Street this March
Published on 16 February 2023
NarraBRIGHT will return to Maitland Street on March 17, celebrating Narrabri's vibrant community, CBD, and businesses. The street festival (supported by NSW Government reconnecting NSW fund) coincides with Council’s CREATE Festival.
In its third year, Narrabri’s main street will fill with light, colour, live entertainment and much more. Building projections from renowned Australian projection company, Illuminart, will appear at the event for the first time.
Neon installations from celebrated artists Carla O’Brien and Dr Bliss Cavanagh, together with roaming performers and a 3D art trail, will add further life to Maitland Street during the evening. Drawn from her experience of living with Tourette Syndrome, Bliss is a sensory-based artist with expert design in sensory spaces. In 2023, NarraBRIGHT will welcome an immersive and magical multisensory experience for people of all ages and abilities.
A trail of mind-bending 3D illustrations will come to life over three big days throughout the Narrabri CBD. Professional artists from Zest Events International specialise in creative solutions – curating, consulting, and producing art projects, including 3D street art.
Narrabri Shire Mayor Ron Campbell has urged residents to get out and support the community event.
“Our Shire has repeatedly shown us that we can pull off quality events for the whole family, and NarraBRIGHT is no exception,” Cr Campbell said.
“I really encourage our residents to come into Narrabri, watch these artists bring the street to life and engage with all things NarraBRIGHT. It will be a wonderful night for people of all ages and abilities, and I look forward to welcoming everyone to the event."
Council will be offering free return buses to NarraBRIGHT, running from Boggabri, Baan Baa, Pilliga, and Wee Waa.
