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!

“Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.” | We acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which the festival is staged - the Giabal, Jarowair and Western Waka Waka people. We pay our respects to the elders - past, present and emerging.

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!
