MEDIA RELEASE

This year Envirofiesta is one hot tamale.  This funky fiesta is hosting a stellar line up of musicians and performers on August 2, featuring Zennith and Pachooka. 

Envirofiesta is the premier community event celebrating and promoting ecological sustainability in our region.  There are eco-friendly market stalls, a huge garage sale, films, forums and talks, a community bike-ride, kids circus and more.   This year, the public is encouraged to contribute to the Future Forum, where the community’s ideas will help shape a future vision for sustainability. 

There will be non-stop music and entertainment from 10 am to 10 pm.   All musicians are original artists – styles include folk, reggae, dub, jazz, funk and soul. 

Fink, the McMenamins, Raconteurs, Sian Evans Band, Steve Williams, international performer/comic Danny Simony and the Dub Rascals will perform amongst skillful MC personalities and eclectic cabaret acts.   Internationally renowned drummer/percussionist Ben Hakalitz, formerly with Yothu Yindi, is the drummer for the Dub Rascals.
