Billed as “Party By the River – Come Out….And Play", the day promises to be an exciting and informative one.The Tereza Joanne Floating Palace and Grounds is a unique and contemporary venue and being on 3 levels with a large outside area makes it an ideal choice for this year’s festival which runs from 12 Noon till 12 Midnight, with a fireworks display at 9pm.
