THE TOWN OF QUEENSTOWN COMES ALIVE THIS WEEKEND

The Award Winning Queenstown Heritage and Arts Festival (10-12 October 2014, held every two years) launches their 2014 festival program at an extravagant gala evening to be held this Saturday.

Tickets for the gala evening are $145.00 per person and include hors d’oeuvre catering, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks and entertainment. Entertainment is provided by the Royal Australian Navy Band (Tasmanian detachment), an extremely popular ‘rock and roll’ outfit that will most certainly have the gala evening guests up and dancing.

A limited number (20) of tickets for the Gala Evening still remain available for sale. Tickets can be purchased from www.qhaf.org or by telephone/visiting the Queenstown Railway Station after 10am on Friday (29th August). Tickets will not be available at the door or available on the Saturday before the Gala Evening.

Queenstown was recently successful in winning the opportunity to host a ‘Mini Muster’, an event provided by the organising committee of the Deni Ute Muster. The Mini Muster will be held also on Saturday 30 August. Interested persons visiting Queenstown for the Mini Muster are most welcome to purchase tickets for the Gala Evening and continue their celebration in style.

The Gala Evening is a black-tie event.
 
FINE ART AUCTION

A key part of the Gala Evening is the Fine Art Auction. The fine art auction is the Queenstown Heritage and Arts Festival’s premier fundraiser. Nine artworks form the auction catalogue from very well respected artists who have been specifically tasked with producing an artwork tied to the festival’s overarching theme ‘The Power of Water’.

ABOUT THE QUEENSTOWN HERITAGE AND ARTS FESTIVAL

The Queenstown Heritage and Arts Festival is an award winning, hand crafted cultural festival held every two years in the mining town of Queenstown on Tasmania’s West Coast. Following the success of the 2012 festival, the festival returns in October 2014 appropriately themed ‘The Power of Water’ to celebrate the centenary of the Lake Margaret Power Station – Australia’s oldest working Hydro Electric station, near Queenstown.
