Running just over a fortnight until September 29, the festival will see the return of favourites such as BUBBLEFEST and The Art Trail & Big Weekend which turns the town into an art gallery.

One of the most unusual events is speed portraiting at the Beer Shed with Andrea Joseph. This new take on speed dating involves drawing portraits of your matches against the clock.
