The Bellingen Global Carnival

The Bellingen Global Carnival is an annual multi-arts festival celebrating Australian cultural diversity. Staging 5 performance areas, the event presents traditional, classical and contemporary concerts reflecting the diverse face of modern day Australia.

Workshops are conducted throughout the weekend as well as outdoor physical theater and the program includes a children's festival with professional child minding and crèche facilities making the festival a family friendly event. Art, craft and photography are exhibited and the program includes a forum for discussing social and cultural issues as well as a market arena providing delicious food & craft from around the world.

There is a focus on contemporary music which draws from different cultures and juxtaposes the new with the more traditional. This adds an eclectic mix of the best electronic composers and contemporary music Australia has to offer, significantly increasing the interest of a younger audience who benefit from the exposure to a broader selection of interesting and good music from a variety of cultures.
