Fringe Folk of the 'The Good Folk'

On the fringe of the The Q and Bicentennial Hall we hope to shine brightly as 'The Good Folk' hits Queanbeyan this Easter Weekend (Sat 3 - Sun 4 April).
 
With many visitors coming cross the border and into the region we would like to add to the 'festival vibe' with more music, some markets, food and gallery exhibition. This will be an opportunity for the punters to visit ‘in between gigs’ and for locals looking at wanting to be part of something fun and vibrant.
 
We are calling out for expressions of interest for community partcipation!

Opportunity to hold a stall
This market will be a mini scaled market with no marquees or huge setups. Footprint of your stall will be about 2m wide by about 3m long. We plan to be at the front of The Hive spilling onto the footpath and highly visible from the Bicentennial Hall and The Q Theatre. Quality, handmade and 'folky' goods preferred. 10am-4pm Sat and Sun.

Hive & Seek application Closes 25 March

Opportunity to perform
You may be a performer that has 45min set to play on our backyard stage.
There will be a $10 entry fee to the backyard and all proceeds of the gate will be distributed back to the performers after the event. You may also treat this as a busking opportunity for extra income.

Performance application Closes 25 March

Opportunity to help out
We pride ourselves in being as inclusive as possible. We welcome all positive enthusiastic people to join our team of volunteers to help the weekend run smoothly. Four hour shifts available across the weekend.
