About
Mirboo North Arty Gras: a festival that developed to nurture the Mirboo North Art Show with a parallel celebration of arts, culture and community. A much-loved feature of the Mirboo North calendar, Arty Gras has been missed through COVID, but we now find ourselves with a beautiful opportunity to bring this event back to people eager to return to celebrating community life.
We’ve shifted to the middle of winter, to additionally celebrate the warmth and light that we all forge to help us through the cold and dark of winter. And so, Mirboo North Winterfest – come along to bear witness to its birth!
A revitalized festival which celebrates fire and ice, light and art, food and drink, Winterfest also retains the beating heart of Arty Gras: its street parade.
Now a lantern parade, this remains a nucleus of community connection that will draw participants from a diverse collection of community groups, businesses and entertainers. We can’t wait to have school students and aged care residents, all freed from remote-learning and facility lockdown, parading alongside each other once more!
