23.01.2022 We invited Mitch Wood (Danger Ensemble/Shake & Stir) to present a character workshop for our LIT Festival 2020 Street Performance Team. From this workshop, participants further developed their final roving character that was presented during the festival's opening weekend on March 13-14 2020. Drawing on emerging creatives from the Toowoomba Region as well as partnering with University of Southern Queensland builds on the festival's aim to build local capacity and incubate brilliant + visionary ideas!

A festival like this cannot happen without the generosity from both our local and state government organisations, and Toowoomba CBD businesses - large and small. In this time of uncertainty, we ask that you support our local traders wherever possible!

12.01.2022 THANK YOU VOLUNTEERS | To our amazing team of volunteers - we salute you! Our loyal vollies worked before, during and after the festival to make LIT Festival: Stories In Light 2020 a stunning success. No job was too big or too challenging: You carted fences, collected surveys, handed out maps, hot glue-gunned, sandbagged, bathed giant rabbits, swatted a million bugs, followed 4-legged creatures around town, kept us hydrated and fed, and smiled your fabulous toothy grins from sunset 'til late!

06.01.2022 The outdoor Lit Festival events are a chance for Toowoomba residents to engage with arts in green spaces and outdoor environments. Tonight's programming will continue as planned at Grand Central with the additional installation at Bell Street Mall now joining the workshop and exhibition at the Civic Square next to the library. We look forward to seeing you all tonight at these two venues, and everywhere in between! Image is Asylum by Blake Hohenhaus.
