New Annual 2026 - that’s a wrap
What an absolute privilege to deliver so many events within this festival, my gratitude to Tory Loudon and @citynewcastle.au for the trust and opportunity is endless. This festival is a dream come true. To deliver a creative arts and music festival in my home town and bring in so much local community as collaborators is an absolute thrill. The New Annual team are so dedicated and brilliant, my Canvas Crew are incredible and my suppliers are the absolute best.
Thank you so much. 🙏
