The CRUSH Festival was born out of a year-‐long community consultation which wanted to see an event which allowed the arts sector to market the best regional arts practice to other regions and encourage visitation to the Bundaberg Region in the month of October.
Now in it’s third year, the CRUSH Festival has over 40 events in the 2011 program and also will encompass the biennial Artspoken: Arts Queensland Regional Arts & Culture Conference as part of the program this year.
The CRUSH festival is heading into it’s third year and has a program looking more juicy than ever with the best regional arts practice showcased in Bundaberg for the whole month of October.
Some of the big name events on the bill are the Artspoken Arts Queensland regional arts and culture conference, Jazz on the Burnett River Queen, Sydney Travelling Film Festival and the Bundaberg Arts Festival.
