The centrepiece of the festival will be an outdoor stage with a capacity of 1,000 located in the parking lot of the City Centre Artist Lodge right in the heart of Mount Pleasant. Attendees can expect a dynamic atmosphere, with all artist studios open during the event, adding to the overall festival experience.
