Gold Coast City, clear your diaries. This weekend is one of the most jam-packed in Gold Coast City history.
Arts and cultural fiesta Bleach Festival has been gaining momentum into its second week of 2015 and brings an array of activity across Gold Coast City this weekend.
Robina Library hosts a Bleach Festival book clinic this Saturday 14 March from 10.30am to 12pm, bringing the brilliance of Bleach into bookworm life.
The inaugural Bleach Picnic in your Patch this Saturday comes to Mudgeeraba, with special guest Clare Bowditch serenading locals with her sweet and soulful songs. Hinterland Regional Park will be transformed for this community picnic, featuring Bleach signature characters Fish out of Water and Ants, visual, theatrical and physical story-telling for kids from Top Secret Storytellers Clubhouse and fun, games and ‘crafternoon’ activities for the whole family.
If opera is your musical genre of choice, then look no further than Feast on Bleach. A huge street party with an operatic ode, Feast on Bleach will transform Fifth Avenue in Palm Beach into an al fresco dining room under the stars and outdoor extravaganza for Opera Queensland’s performance of the Adventures of Figaro.
