FESTIVAL AT PROVIDENCE RETURNS FOR 2019
The Providence Heart & Soul Festival will return bigger and better in 2019 with an exciting new focus that puts the emphasis on food, music, families and fun!
The festival will take place on Saturday, September 21 from 4.00pm – 9.00pm at Harmony Crescent, South Ripley. Entry is free and includes live music, entertainment, access to a wide range of food vans, affordable rides and fireworks, to finish the evening with a bang.
Now in its fourth year, the festival is being organised this year by the Providence Community Group Incorporated (PCG Inc) alongside Providence locals. Providence’s developer Okeland Communities continue to be a key supporter of the event.
The 2019 festival will be jam-packed with over five hours of live music performances including high profile headline acts Chriddy Black and Jordy Marcs from The Voice who will be joined by local artists Wild Eyed Wonder, Jukebox Party Band and Kelsey Berrington.
Chriddy Black, the 26-year-old truck driver from the Gold Coast, was a fan favorite on The Voice while Jordy Marcs impressed in his performances with his unique take on blues and rock earning him plenty of fans.
PCG Inc Vice President and festival organiser Maalikah Jones said: “This year is all about fun, food and family,” she said. “We have some great acts lined up and there will be a great range of food vans, plenty of rides for the kids and roving entertainment.
“It is all about kicking back, relaxing and enjoying this incredible community, so bring your picnic blanket and chairs, relax and make the most of it”
Created and hosted by Providence residents, the Festival was developed by a team of volunteers who have created an event that reflects the values, interests and aspirations of this community; as such, Heart and Soul has been given its name due to the festival being born out of the true ‘heart and soul’ of its residents.
The annual festival has become a unique part of Providence’s tradition.
