The inaugural Botanic Beats event took centre stage in Goondiwindi this past weekend, and it was nothing short of a resounding success. A fusion of markets, entertainment for children, live music, delectable cuisine, and an overall enjoyable atmosphere made it a remarkable day out for the entire community.
The festivities kicked off early in the morning as the Goondiwindi Markets relocated from the Town Park to the picturesque Botanic Gardens. A total of 28 diverse stalls offered a wide array of items, ensuring shoppers had plenty of choices to explore. As adults indulged in retail therapy, children were kept thoroughly entertained by a lively Jumping Castle, allowing parents some well-deserved relaxation time. Meanwhile, the Goondiwindi Botanic Gardens Members delighted visitors with homemade baked goods and freshly brewed cups of tea and coffee.
The entertainment lineup was nothing short of spectacular, with local talent “Spilt Image” taking the stage to serenade the crowd with their melodious tunes. As the music filled the air, the children’s games kicked off, delivering a whirlwind of excitement. From sack races to tug-of-war, children of all ages revelled in the thrill of friendly competition, and to cap it off, each young participant was rewarded with a prize to commemorate their spirited efforts.
When hunger struck, attendees were treated to a mouthwatering BBQ lunch alongside a well-stocked bar. The culinary delights were a hit among visitors, enhancing the overall experience.
Botanic Beats left an indelible mark on the Goondiwindi community, with locals and visitors coming together for a day filled with laughter, music, and community spirit. The event organisers thanked everyone who attended and made the day successful, promising more memorable moments at the next Botanic Beats on November 26th.
