FizzFest, a community led festival, started in 2009 has been growing bigger and bigger. The festival is filled with fun activities, stalls, performers and fun competitions. The main aim of the festival is to promote the arts to the community. All the inspirational artists, musicians and performers live in the local area giving up their time for free. This year FizzFest is planned by a group of 10 volunteers putting their efforts six months leading up to the event and getting involved in all aspects of marketing and logistics.
