8 performance spaces, 4 stages, over 100 free family based workshops and activities and The Blues Train Stage this weekend!
The Blues Train will be a marquee event at this year's Knox Festival, headlining a cavalcade of live music and entertainment.
Over 30 years the Knox Festival has established itself as the No.1 cultural event in the eastern Melbourne region. Close to 40,000 people actively participate in one of the most innovative, community festival programmes in Australia with 100 free workshops & activities delivered by 80 community groups and involving 1000 volunteers.
The Blues Train organisers have this year prepared a one-off special showcase of homegrown roots and blues stars especially for the Knox Festival. Performing live will be six popular Blues Train acts, including Lloyd Spiegel, Stringybark McDowell, and the face of the Blues Train, Jimi Hocking.
Located on the 10 hectare grounds of the Ferntree Gully Community Arts Centre, the 2010 Knox Festival will feature 8 performance spaces, including 4 stages, and over 100 free family based workshops and activities.
