Bright sun, warm temperature, nice venues, many visitors, and fun activities were set up to connect the whole community successfully at a Healesville festival.
The Connecting Community Festival (CCF) provided an opportunity for local residents to start the long weekend with joy on Saturday 8 March.
One of the attendees told the Star Mail, “This event truly is connecting the community where community members can get to know each other.”
One of the highlights of the festival was the Murga Madre Street Parade, a form of street theatre typical of the carnival celebrations in Uruguay, Argentina, Panama and Spain.
People with special costumes and instruments walked along the main street of the town while dancing to the exciting music, followed by a group of animals consisting of donkeys, dogs, and goats.
