The Awesome Festival showcases a spectacular array of events including theatre, creative workshops, literature events, music, ballet, exhibitions and a whole range of free activities for families.

The Boy and the Ball

Jenny Simpson, CEO of Awesome Arts and Artistic Director of the festival said, The Awesome Festival is a firm family favourite every September holidays. With over 60% of the event delivered free, we offer both quality and value for families – with a big dash of excitement and delight!

“I can’t wait to hear the squeals of excitement when kids travel to outer space with a cast of shadowy characters in Slapdash Galaxy, their amazement at a squillion bubbles with the Bubble Canteen and the looks of concentration when learning new skills like knitting, circus and playing musical instruments.

“This year, we’ll present Two free ballets at the Heath Ledger Theatre, lots of events with local authors for the under 5’s we have some beautiful offerings including The Mess Hall, the Boy and the Ball and The Things that Matter.

The full program is available online to help you start planning your Awesome outing.
