DirectRooms.com can announce that Cultural Fest will be held from the 17th to the 21st of August 2011 and will be taking place in Strand Park, which is located in Townsville, Queensland.
The event is being organised by the Townsville Intercultural Centre in partnership with the Townsville City Council and the Tabarsi Community Consultancy. The main aim is to celebrate the wide diversity of cultures that make up Australia.
The five day event is a celebration of the best in the arts, performance and foods which can be found in the region. There will be hundreds of singers, artists and dancers coming together to provide an eclectic mix of performances on three main stages, craft stalls stretching throughout Strand Park and food stands selling cuisine from all over the region and the world.
There will be a number of workshops on subjects which include wholistic health, self-defence and indigenous knowledge. Visitors can also visit art galleries and installations or enjoy the numerous amusement rides.
For anyone planning on staying for the whole festival and needing the place to stay, hotel Townsville offers the excellent selection of accommodation options. The festival has been known to attract over 80,000 visitors and this year is likely to be no different. There are a wide variety of accommodation types, from more centrally based rooms to beachfront apartments and it is advised to book early.
This will be the 17th year Cultural Fest has been held; it is the biggest community based event of its kind held in Australia. More than 400 community groups, clubs, organisations and associations come together in order to make it a success.
