 The Moore Park Beach annual Festival of Arts is a Spring highlight of the Wide Bay/Burnett Region's cultural scene.  Moore Park Beach Arts Inc. is a unique community group driven to providing an outlet for the many and varied aspects of art in the community. Artists, photographers, sculptors with many other arts and craft groups come together to present their craft. The Art and Photography Exhibition is open to all amateur artists. The Community Hall is filled with Award winning art and photography for the weekend which opens with Award presentations on Friday 17th August. Over the weekend exciting giant kites fill the air above the beach and yet higher up gyrocopters and aeronautical displays skim along the coastline, while on the sand children join with the sand sculptor as he teaches the intricacies of sand moulding. On the Bicentennial Oval, market and food stalls abound providing a backdrop to the exciting displays of horsemanship, Tae kwon do, international dancing, musical entertainment, cheerleading and tumbling. Jumping castle, face painting and Balloon clowns are just a few of the activities to keep the littlies occupied. |
Without the many sponsors our Annual Festival of Arts would not be possible and we would like to thank them for their kind support. Your support of the following businesses who assisted us for the 2011 Festival would also be appreciated.
Accommodation for out of towners or holiday makers is readily available at Moore Park Beach Caravan Park Moore Park Beach Motel Holiday accommodation through Beachside Moore Park Real Estate and the many B&B's in the area. Why not come for the weekend and enjoy our beautiful 17 klms of unspoilt beach as well as our wonderful Festival of Arts.  School participation is a big part of the Festival with many of the local schools participating in the Art programme as well as providing art in the form of music on Friday morning. 2012 will be no exception with school bands from around the district giving a free concert on the grassed area of the Community Hall. The concert is open and the public are welcome to come and support these young musicians as they enjoy the art of music. Thanks go to teachers and parents for their support of this important part of the weekend. |
