Mullumbimby is set to host the inaugural Wallum Extravaganza, a vibrant community celebration and fundraiser.
This unique event, blending fashion, music, and community art takes place on Friday, October 10, from 5.45pm to 10pm (doors open at 5.30pm) at the Mullumbimby Civic Hall. The event is all-ages, with free entry for children under 13.
Everyone can look forward to a dynamic evening that will feature the Wallum Extravaganza Fashion Show.
‘This will showcase upcycled and locally-donated clothing adorned with unique Wallum-inspired prints,’ said organisers.
‘This creative tradition, initiated in 2023 by local artist and activist Ilona Harker, highlights the beauty of Wallum through lino-printed garments, raising both awareness and vital funds.’
There will also be the Wallum Extravaganza Performance Art piece. Powerful performance pieces that will be interwoven with the fashion show, blending movement, storytelling, and spoken word to express the spirit and community of Wallum.
DJ beats from Danu, Lustr, and Coco Brown (BNE), fresh from the Earth Frequency Festival, will keep the energy flowing throughout the night.
There will also be kids entertainment, family fun, and delicious meals and treats will be available from Yulli’s pop-up kitchen and bar.
