It’s that time of year again – the much-loved Nundah Festival is set to return to the village for one of the community’s most anticipated weekends in the calendar.
Annie Reid, president of the Nundah Now Committee and co-founder of the Nundah Festival, explained that the mid-September event, now in its 24th year, brings everyone together to celebrate all the things that make Nundah such a vibrant community.
“The community here is so supportive, and you really see that on festival day,” she said. “We’ll have something for everyone – the kids’ favourite tea and saucer ride, live entertainment, and plenty of great local restaurants, bars and pubs to kick on to afterwards.”
The festival is the highlight of a full weekend of activities, beginning with a free family movie under the stars on Friday, 11 September at Boyd Park, followed by the Nundah Art Show on Saturday and Sunday.
“The art show has become one of the jewels of the weekend,” Annie said. “We’re honoured to have judges of such high calibre lending their eye this year.”
Festival Sunday will celebrate all that the community has to offer with hundreds of student performers from local schools, roving street performers, food trucks, and rides for young festival-goers.
“All these years on, it’s fantastic to see these same streets packed shoulder to shoulder with families,” Annie said. “Whether you come for the art, the food, the music or just to run into half the neighbourhood, there’s a place for everyone at the festival.”
