From a flower festival in spring 🌻🌼 to a winter solstice celebration under the stars 🧊🌘⭐ if you have an event idea – together, we can bring it into reality!
Last year Burnie City Council contributed $15,000 to Van Diemen’s Band Inc., to help provide a variety of Lunchbox concerts over a two year period. Council also contributed $15,000 to support the re-emergence of Burnie 2023 Ten Days on the Island Festival.
