To foster and encourage a cohesive, supportive, vibrant and inclusive community. To showcase our food and wine producers, highlight local attractions, and encourage connections between community members. Clubs, businesses and organisations are all invited to hold promotional stalls, activities and sell merchandise.
This event will also foster a network of musicians. Two members are teachers from Foster Secondary College, and are committed to inspiring young musicians to connect with the wider musical community. Students will be actively involved.
Encouraging locals to shop local has ongoing economic benefits, while reminding tourists why Foster is not just the gateway to the Prom.

Rural and Regional areas such as ours need forums such as this to inspire, promote, and sustain our many talented local musicians, young and old.
Community events such as this enrich our local culture and provide opportunities for local people to meet have fun and form new relationships and networks.

Foster needs to rebuild its live music culture, which will benefit young and old alike, and this project will go a long way to achieving that.

Great for tourism and the community. It will assist our youth in terms of their long-term engagement in the Arts and bring many back for the event. I work with Bec Bone and know that her energy and enthusiasm will make this a successful project. I also know many of the local musicians and they deserve this opportunity to showcase their diverse range of talents! I truly hope that this is one of the chosen projects for funding.
