Successful art deco festival
WITH hundreds of people dressing up in their best vintage art deco outfits and joining in the celebration over eight days, the 2024 Tropical Art Deco has been hailed a huge success.
The Innisfail and District Historical Society is thrilled to wrap up the festival after another successful iteration where people got to explore the history, architecture and fashion of Innisfail in the 1920s.
“A number of events were solidly booked and most well attended, with the Sunday vintage market a huge success in terms of numbers of people through the door,” said festival convenor Kerry Linton.
The veranda entertainment during the market set the scene for the art deco era, with visitors vowing to return and many patrons and vendors dressed in fashions of the era.
Many people went to a lot of trouble to dress up for events, including Friday night’s Flappers and Dappers’ Ball, which featured the electrifying Brisbane duo ‘Electro Swiggety’.
The festival organisers are keen to hear from anyone who’d like to be involved at committee organising level, host an event or become a festival sponsor in 2025.
