Come and enjoy our Seabreeze Festival
Seabreeze Day 2009Saturday May 2nd is a progressive, moving feast of music and visual arts, spread along 1 kilometre of foreshore from the Nightcliff Jetty to Chapman Road.
Celebrate the beginning of the dry with entertainment, funfair activities, stalls, exhibitions and displays FREE for the whole family.
This annual event is all about community participation with numerous opportunities for everyone to create something special.
The tides are with us this year, so the Sand Sculpture Competition will be huge, with $275 in cash prizes for adults and special vouchers for under 12’s. Prizes judged, sponsored and awarded by Jane Aagaard on the beach at 4pm before the tide washes away the works of art.
This year the festival will feature a Bicycle Parade. Cyclists are invited to decorate their bikes for a chance to scoop $300 in cash prizes with junior and adult categories. Gather at the Jetty Car Park at 5.30pm and move to the music stage near Chapman Rd, contact Jen for further information 0432949510.
Visual Artists are invited to bring along their works to an afternoon al fresco exhibition at the Jetty Art Space by 11am. Prizes include the $500 cash Perpetual Lions Club Trophy and $100 Chris Burns Junior awards. Contact Jac for more information 0406170084
