In breaking news for the community, the celebrated Burdekin Water Festival will return to the region for 2024 on Saturday 7 September.
The theme for this year’s Burdekin Water Festival will be Bring it Back, a nostalgic theme set to capture the hearts of the entire community.
“The theme, Bring it Back, was based on the committee’s discussions of fond memories of the Water Festival, and things that we used to enjoy when we were growing up and visiting the event every year, so we want to bring back those feelings, bring back those memories, and bring back that sentiment,” explained committee member Kari Ravizza.
In honouring Water Festivals of the years gone by, businesses are strongly encouraged to decorate their shop fronts.
The Burdekin Water Festival for 2024 will make its return to Queen Street with spectacular floats expected to ignite the centre of the community, of course following the heartwarming theme of Bing it Back.
In an exciting announcement, the committee is calling for both junior and senior ambassadors from any corner of the region to be part of the historic event.
“Our ambassadors can come from sporting clubs, schools, community groups, businesses, and anyone who would like to put forward an ambassador is strongly encouraged to contact the Water Festival Committee,” said Kari.
With plans and preparations in action, the committee is on the search for sponsors, expressions of interest from food vendors and entertainment to line the main street and contribute to the festival atmosphere the event is famous for.
“We’re definitely excited to go ahead with preparations for the 2024 Water Festival and we’re in the process of gathering and contacting sponsors for support and are strongly calling for store holders, food vendors, and ambassadors to contact the committee,” expressed Eusebio.
The community can expect updates posted on the Burdekin Water Festival’s Facebook page in the coming days, and strongly encourage anyone interested to contact the committee via email at info@burdekinaterfestival.com.
