There was dancing in the streets, in the park and definitely in the venues all day and much of the night as Bello Winter Music settled into its rhythm.

The normally quiet main street was bursting with people today (Saturday), many of which flowed down over the bridge and into the showground where the Growers Market was inundated with keen crowds.
For the kids there were drumming monkeys, bugs to catch and things to learn at the LeaF Learning Festival.
The Magic Bus moved around town spilling its travellers onto the footpath full of its hippy, happy vibes to spread even further.
Venues were packed as crowds enjoyed an eclectic choice of sounds from the amazing voice to Deborah Conway to the Malian blues of Moussa Diakite, the jazz of The Magnificence and more and more and more ….
And in the heart of it all, the Market Park offered a fabulous array of food along with music and dance, hand crafts for sale and a place to sit in the sun with the family.
Plastic free, including straws, with most of the town’s businesses on board, this clean, green festival also offers workshops in running campaigns and how to achieve near-zero emissions in your life.
The music continues tonight and tomorrow – check it out if you can – and enjoy our gallery.

Journalism was always my plan but plans being what they are, I did not get to realise it until my early 40s ... and have loved every minute since. For me community journalism is the most intimate and honest place to be in this field - telling the stories of people I live with, side-by-side, every day. It is an honour.
