The children are playing, the men are in song,
The women are dancing and playing along,
The bells they are ringing, the fires alight,
The Green Lady smiles as we rejoice in her sight.
With love in our hearts and peace in our minds,
We welcome the spring, leaving sorrow behind.
New beginnings are here with joy to be won -
“Ostara is here!, Ostara has come!”
Now in it's fourth year, Ostara Festival, brought to you by Bish Bash Bosh Productions Inc will be celebrating the coming of Spring once again, with 3 days of music carefully hand picked to bring you a weekend full of live music and electronica. With over 60 artists on the bill, you will be guaranteed there will be something there for everyone!
From such artists as Sun in Aquarius (Addictech / Enig'matik), Goosebumpz (Disconekta), Mr Bill, Jigsaw, Merkaba, Svelt (Sydney) Tim McMillan Band (Vic), Yelka (Vic), Alias and the Jams (Vic), Sans Gras, Spyndrift, The Backyard Job, Geamala, Loren Kate - with more to be announced over the coming weeks. This is just a taster!
One of the charities we'll be donating to this year is:
The Ripple Effect Western Victorian Rural Indigenous Recover and Healing Service Inc.
These guys are in much need of funding. They are a multi-disciplined service, providing transgenerational support and assistance for ATSI families, individuals and communities to develop personal and collective strategies to overcoming social disadvantage and build sustainable pathways with employment, education and training. They also provide holistic services for Indigenous people and support the current mainstream employment, education and training organisations to build and enhance their working relationships with Indigenous Australians, and so much more!!!
