Dress to impress on Art Deco Day
DRESS to impress and get into the feel of Innisfail’s art deco days with the launch of the 2024 Tropical Art Deco Festival set to start this Sunday and celebrate Art Deco Day on September 13.
As part of the historical society’s Tropical Art Deco Festival, held from Sunday, September 8 until Sunday, September 15, Innisfail has declared Friday, September 13 Art Deco Day, an occasion to celebrate the history of the town, its architecture and fashion of yesteryear.
Known as one of Innisfail’s signature festivals, the Tropical Art Deco Festival presents a catalogue of free and ticketed events for all ages and lovers of fashion, architecture and history.
Society president Trish Ernst said she wanted businesses and residents to get involved with Art Deco Day and the Tropical Art Deco Festival with decorations and lots of style.
“We’d love to see businesses in the Innisfail CBD decorate their windows and have their staff dress up in art deco style for the day, on the Friday of the festival,” she said.
“Members of the community coming into town on September 13 can dress up as well, just for fun, to get into the spirit of the festival. You don’t need a special event to dress up, although there will be plenty of opportunities at dedicated festival events.” These events include the art deco high tea at the Shire Hall, Flappers and Dappers Ball and historical cemetery walk.
