Many attractions and highlights of the Cultural Fest will move to Bowen the following weekend to join in the first ever Bowen Fest. The Cultural Fest organisers with the partnership of local government are planning the spectacular festival of food, fun and friendship on the beach front at Bowen.

This event will entertain thousands of visitors and local residents. Cultural Fest highlights, combined with local talents and traditions from a whole range of participants will create a unique festival based on the theme of Unity in Diversity.

Participate in Bowen Fest

We are proud to introduce the first Bowen Fest, a celebration of Bowen’s past, present and future on Saturday 23 August. The one-day festival will highlight the BEST of BOWEN through dynamic local and visiting musicians, dancers and singers on two performance stages. Food stalls serving the widest variety of tasty treats will be a food lover’s delight. The ‘Global Village’ market will display and sell arts and crafts from many different traditions and backgrounds.

Young people, schools and community groups are invited to participate in making large and colourful lanterns for our spectacular lantern parade.

Bowen Fest is being organised by the Migrant Resource Centre in Townsville, the organiser of the Cultural Fest, and is supported by the Whitsundays Regional Council.
