Welcome to the 2008 Mackay Festival of Arts – our 21st annual festival.
In 21 years, the Mackay Festival of Arts has created a rich cultural legacy and a bucket-load of sweet memories by featuring a long list of influential performers, writers, designers and artists who have, and still do, develop exceptional work.
Whether you are yet to discover the delights of the Mackay Festival of Arts or have been a dedicated supporter since 1987, 2008 is a great year to watch, participate, squeal with delight and roar with laughter - enjoy!
I would like to thank the Executive Committee at Mackay Regional Council, in particular Cheryl Jorgensen, for their guidance and my assistant Shanna Souvlis for her professionalism and dedication. Thanks also to all our sponsors, contributing staff at council, the technical crew at Mackay Entertainment Centre and volunteers.
