Regrowth Festival September 28 - October 1
We would like to say a big big thankyou to everyone who made The Regrowth Festival a wonderful success!! To all the artists, production crew, volunteers, performers, workshop presenters, market stall holders, healers, graphic designers, photographers, our amazing coordinators, the incredible Gary from No Waste Events and Hamish from Natural Events - you are all absolute legends and we couldn't have done it without you! An extra special thanks to the SOS and MWA crews for creating the fantasticly wonderful Undergrowth and Scrub stages, as well as for all your additional help, love working with you guys! To all the members of the REGEN crew, we have a special family and through hard work and persistence we have grown our little event into a great festival that wouldn't be possible without the special peeps in the core crew, hats off and group hugs :) A big thanks to the property owner Martin Royds for his continuing support, as well as the local CMA, ALC and Palerang Council. A thankyou to mother nature for turning on the beautiful weather for Sunday and Monday, as well as the rain on Friday that made our life tough but was much needed in the area and the new trees really appreciated the nice wet ground to be planted in. And of course thankyou to everyone that came along to the festival and enjoyed the weekend. There was a great vibe the whole way through, the energy on the dancefloors was amazing, and security reported not a single incident which is a great tribute to the wonderful people who attended. Extra thanks to those that made it out to the tree planting. We planted 2000 trees in one day!!!
We were considering returning to our normal Easter date for next year's festival, however the massive effort and commitment required to make these events happen and the need to sustain our energy will not make it possible in such a short turn around. We will be once again part of the Dragon Dreaming festival in 2013 and will be returning for the next instalment of the Regrowth Festival in 2014. Keep your eyes out for our many fundraising indoor events coming up over the coming months, the next one being Tipper/Eskmo/Spoonbill at the Manning Bar on 24th November.
Once again thanks to everyone for the support, we hope it was worth the wait after the postponement from earlier in the year, and we look forward to continuing the growth of the festival into the future and planting loads more trees!!!
