Kidsfest Shellharbour Event Co-ordinator Carla Brookes says this year's festival broke all records with a 25 per cent increase on last year's numbers. "We had more than 2500 children attend 60 events during the week-long festival, including parents and carers, a total of 7500 people turned out over the week". Tessa Parsons Program Manager for Barnardos Communities for Children says she is thrilled with the success of Kidsfest Shellharbour 2010. "Kidsfest Shellharbour has been a wonderful celebration of children in the city and an opportunity for families to connect with services in the area. We will build on this success and make sure Kidsfest Shellharbour 2011 is even better". The Festival Finale finished with the Pram Parade at Little Park along the Shellharbour Foreshore.
As a foot note - there were 60 events on the program. Event highlights for the Festival would have to be Illawarra Light Rail Museum, Warilla Nth Celebrations, HARS, RFS, Fishing By the Lake, and the Festival Finale Parade (and everything in between !) !
Kidsfest Shellharbour is an activity of Communities for Children Shellharbour funded by the Australian Government that takes place in the lead up to Families Week.
Kidsfest Shellharbour will be back in May 2011- Mark it in your diary !
See you then............
