FESTIVAL AIMS TO BLEND THE BEST OF ESTABLISHED EVENTS

Music, art and technology will collide in Wollongong this October long weekend when the city presents the inaugural interactive Blender Festival. The event aims to combine the popularity of well-established events such as the Yours and Owls Festival and Wonderwalls.

Event organisers say they aim to blur the lines between the experts and the audience by giving people more involvement, access and imaginative challenges.

Festival Director Ben Perry said the multi-day festival has a diverse range of events blending all aspects of music, arts and technology will both ticketed and free events spread across Wollongong’s Globe Lane, Stuart Park and a range of parks, cafes, theatres, pop-up spaces and laneways.

“It’s also great to be involved with a festival that has a large component of free events, such as the opening night street party in the City Centre that enables all to experience what Blender is about,” he said.

The Blender Festival runs from Thursday, October 1 to Sunday, October 4 at venues across the city. Events are both ticketed and free.
