A BIG 'Thank You' to all participants and supporters

Brimbank City Council would like to thank the many community groups, organisations and entertainers whose cooperation made the 2012 Brimbank Festival possible. There were over 60 stalls and the festival’s mammoth program on 3 stages and 3 activity arenas involved close on 800 performers, many drawn from diverse local community and cultural groups with almost as many featured in the parade, one of many festival highlights. Other highlights included the finals of the Brimbank Stars and Rhiannon Fish and Lincoln Younes, the wonderful and talented cast members of 'Home and Away' who took part in the parade, a Meet and Greet on stage and judging the Brimbank Stars finals.
