Seek out arts and culture in Moorabool

Moorabool’s musicians, artists and wordsmiths are out of hiding, and it’s time for everyone to seek them out as they gear up to perform in townships across the shire for the second annual Hide and Seek Festival.

Organised by Moorabool council, Hide and Seek is dedicated to celebrating arts and culture in Moorabool, bringing together local talent and inviting creativity from afar.

This festival offers a diverse range of events that foster community engagement and artistic expression.

Council said that after a very successful inaugural festival in 2022, it was excited to offer a bigger and improved take two.

Along with music, there will be a big focus on art, literary events and food this year.

“This is an event, or more accurately a series of fantastic events, not to be missed,” council chief executive Derek Madden said.

“Our entire shire is going to be humming with spring festivities during the festival and we encourage locals and visitors to get amongst it.”

The Hide and Seek Festival runs from November 1-10.

There will be unique experiences such as art trails and degustation dinners, as well as art workshops, a poetry open mic event, an evening of stargazing and exploring First Nations myths and stories, live music and roving performers.

All events are free or low cost.
