Flametree Gathering Returns For Another Year

Following last year's success, Flametree Gathering returns over the Father’s Day weekend, for a family-friendly, fun time.

Co-organiser Bronwyn Garland is excited for the weekend which is said to be a small and intimate festival due to only 200 tickets being up for purchase.

“It's an intimate festival, it is not too big so people can get to know each other, and it is family friendly,” said Bronwyn.

“We invite families to come, and children 12 and under can come for free, because it's the Father's Day weekend, we want to create a family friendly community event.”

There will be music for everyone at this year’s Flametree Gathering with many world class artists performing a wide range of genres, blues, reggae, country and more.

Harry Kemp will be returning to the Whitsundays to perform, Bec and Rachel Olsson from Innocent Eve will be performing for the first time in two years.

Other music legends will be joining the festival including Karl S.Williams & Sally Wiggins, Sky Eater, Salt n Steel and festival organiser David Flower will be hitting the stage too.

The money raised from the Flametree Gathering will be supporting turtle rehabilitation by donating to Eco Barge Clean Seas Inc. as David and Bronwyn believe it is a great local charity that deserves awareness and support for all the hard work they do.

David is looking forward to this year’s Flametree Gathering and is very proud to present this gathering to the Whitsunday people.

David and Bronwyn see big festivals around them cancelling and they understand that live music is under threat and it’s important for artists to keep performing and sharing their music with audiences.
