Blue Water Country Comes to the Terrace - Media ReleaseLast modified: May 23, 2008 - 11:43 AM
After receiving a funding boost from state and federal governments, Raymond Terrace will play a larger role in this year’s Blue Water Country Music Festival, to be held over the June long weekend.
While much of the festival’s focus will be on Nelson Bay, funding received through the Hunter Community Recovery Fund has enabled an increased itinerary in the Terrace. Whilst country music will feature in licensed venues across Raymond Terrace over the weekend, the focus of celebrations and entertainment will be on Saturday 7 June in the Raymond Terrace main street and in Riverside Park on Monday 9 June. On Saturday the 7th, the town’s main street will be closed to traffic to create a unique shopping and music environment. Buskers and street stalls will accompany a host of activity in Williams Street between 9am and 3pm. On Monday the 9th, Riverside Park becomes the focal point with a free sausage sizzle, a host of country musicians, children’s entertainment and Emergency Service demonstrations. Speaking today, Port Stephens Mayor said the entire local government area was gearing up for the festival. “This is the third year the festival has run and despite some average weather previously, 2008 promises to be biggest and best event so far,” he said. “It is particularly pleasing that we are seeing artists performing right across Port Stephens. There should be something for everyone.” More information on the Blue Water Country Music festival and a full program of events can be found at www.bluewatercountrymusic.com.au
