The team behind the Wallaby Creek Festival is urging potential new executive members and volunteers to help get a start on events for 2025 as the Cape York Folk Club prepares to hold its annual general meeting next month.
The AGM will be held at Nature’s Powerhouse in Cooktown at 2:30pm on 22 March, with a club spokesperson encouraging anyone interested in playing a part in its must-experience events to attend.
“Everyone is welcome; this is a chance to connect with festival leaders and find out more about our iconic event, the Wallaby Creek Festival,” the spokesperson said.
“This incorporated association have survived Covid and a mud flood, and are passionate about locally-driven entertainment.
“Having fun is the aim, so we’ll also have a membership drive with afternoon tea and local live music after the meeting.”
Following the AGM, botanist Sandi Lloyd and fungi specialist Ori Alber-Mitchell will lead a walk through the gardens at 3pm.
“These two ladies are 100 per cent instrumental in the creation of Wallaby Creek Festival as our entertainment team manager and visuals team manager respectively,” the club spokesperson said.
This year’s Wallaby ReGen is scheduled to be held from 1-3 August, with the event to act as a fundraiser to help the club purchase the festival site.
The 2025 Wallaby Creek Festival will draw thousands of attendees when gates open on 26-28 September and is promising to be “pure gold on a Black and Gold budget”.
