Set against the backdrop of Greater Shepparton’s picturesque landscapes, the festival highlights the varied talents and cultural diversity within the community. From captivating performances to thought-provoking exhibitions, the Shepparton Festival embodies the essence of creativity, uniting individuals from all walks of life.
Shepparton Festival Director, Kristen Retallick, said she was excited for the festival to kick-off, and for our community to enjoy the wide variety of events.
“While planning and preparing the 2024 Shepparton Festival, I have maintained a sensitivity and awareness of the way that sharing arts experiences impacts our community. All people involved in creating art, as well as those who view, hear and feel it will bring their own ideas, and walk away with new ones. We bring a ‘conscious creative’ to our program this year, guided by the work of our artists and the insights people share with us.”
This year’s festival line-up is nothing short of spectacular, featuring a mix of events and activities to suit every taste and interest. Attendees can look forward to immersive art installations, live music performances, engaging workshops, and much more.
