Young people ready to enjoy a huge ‘Here and Now’ school holiday program, including youth arts and music festival

There is something on almost every day during the school holidays for youth in Strathbogie Shire.

The ‘Here and Now’ school holiday program features an array of activities for all interest areas including film, cooking and skateboarding workshops, a free movie and a huge music and arts festival.

Strathbogie Shire Council Mayor Cr Laura Binks said there were opportunities to learn skills in so many different areas.

“We have two cooking workshops where our youth can learn some fantastic Italian and Mexican recipes,” Cr Binks said.

“There’s some more fast-paced action with the awesome crew from GNARLY Neighbours conducting skateboarding workshops in Nagambie and the YMCA will take workshops in Euroa and Violet Town.

“If creativity is more your thing, there is a fantastic two-part workshop where you can learn how to create your own artwork and short films that will be projected at the Here and Now Youth Music and Arts Festival which is also a huge part of our jam-packed school holiday program.

“The festival is an exciting all ages event celebrating the music, art and projections of young people from across the Strathbogie Shire.

“The event will feature a bevy of bands and soloists including Bad Ibis, Inversion, YNOT, The Counterfeits, Asha Bright, Nick Keogh, Viceroy’s Meiki Bosland and others.

“There will also be art exhibitions, short film screenings, projections, and food vans with free buses running from Benalla, Wangaratta, Shepparton, Seymour, Nagambie, and Euroa as well as other destinations if needed. It is an event that’s sure to not be missed.”
