Be a trapeze artist, join an interactive story-telling experience where theatre and magic combine, or get ready to sail the seven seas in a music extravaganza like no other.
It’s all part of the entertainment line-up and fun activities in store for this year’s Festival of Fisher’s Ghost Street Fair on Saturday, November 8, which will transform Mawson Park and the Campbelltown central business district into a magical outdoor celebration for all of the family.
A variety of stalls will line Queen Street, boasting everything from quality bric-a-brac, multicultural food and sweets, to must-have homewares, jewellery and community information.
Kids will also love seeing their favourite characters come to life in the ‘How to Train Your Dragon 2’ stage show, where they will learn the skills and special moves to take on any dragon that crosses their path. Or make a splash and find your inner pirate at the Move and Groove Underwater Kids Show, which promises to be one ocean-tastic singing and dancing experience.
Among other popular attractions set for Mawson Park is the Gymbus, a double decker bus which has been converted into an indoor children’s playground, complete with modified gymnastics and play equipment. Climb, roll, slide, swing and dance around the Gymbus, which promotes physical activity as fun for kids of all ages and abilities.
Melbourne-based children’s performance art ensemble, The Nylon Zoo, will bring a touch of magic to the Street Fair with its mix of theatre, costume, dance, music and storytelling – all inside the body of a giant inflatable salmon. This is one journey of the imagination that will have youngsters (and the young at heart) mesmerised by its captivating journey to far-away places.
Mayor of Campbelltown, Cr Paul Lake, said the Street Fair reflected the vibrancy, colour and excitement of the city’s festival.
“Experience the magic of this year’s Street Fair and you’ll be living the spirit of our city’s longest running community celebration,” Cr Lake said.
“Browse the various stalls, experience a variety of hands-on activities, or simply sit back and enjoy the stage entertainment – the Street Fair has it all.”
Campbelltown City Council’s Festival of Fisher’s Ghost runs from October 30 to November 9. For more information, visit fishersghost.com.au
