Ipswich residents can receive a sneak peek of what Anywhere Festival has in store for the city with council’s latest quarterly guide hitting mailboxes from this week.
The Autumn Guide 2021 publication is being delivered from 15 March and showcases what’s happening in Ipswich over the coming months.
It includes a snapshot of Anywhere Festival, which will run from 6 to 23 May and give audiences a chance to discover performances anywhere but traditional theatre spaces.
Mayor Teresa Harding said that council is delighted to support Anywhere Festival and empower the Ipswich creative sector.
“I am thrilled that organisers have put together such a diverse program delivering a range of inspiring performances in unique locations by our local producers and performance makers,” Mayor Harding said.
“Events like Anywhere Festival showcase the creative sector’s contribution to Ipswich, providing jobs and making our city vibrant and highly liveable.
“Poets, comedians, musicians, theatre groups, circus performers, dancers and storytellers will take over Top of Town, Ipswich Central and local nooks and crannies.”
The Ipswich program of Anywhere Festival is co-funded by Ipswich City Council and the Regional Arts Development Fund. The Regional Arts Development Fund is a partnership between the Queensland Government and Ipswich City Council to support local arts and culture in regional Queensland.
The full program for Anywhere Festival will be released on 26 March.
With an exciting program of major events planned for Ipswich this year, Anywhere Festival is not the only event showcased in council’s Autumn Guide 2021.
In the guide, residents can also get a taste of what is planned for Planes, Trains and Autos on 1 May at The Railway Workshops Museum and Celtic festival The Gathering on 23 May at Ipswich Turf Club.
