Originally a dance troupe, Justice Crew wowed audiences on Australia’s Got Talent in 2010 before going to record number 1 hits Boom Boom and Que Sera while supporting the likes of One Direction, Janet Jackson and Kesha.
In addition to the main- stage excitement, roving performers, discounted carnival rides, live art painting with Mel McVee and delicious food will ensure there’s something for the whole family.
HOMEGROWN FESTIVAL
The Illuminate Night Party is just the tip of the iceberg for Homegrown Festival, which promises a month of fun events from February 17 onwards.
Following Illuminate, four weeks of events will showcase the vibrancy of the City of Gosnells community, featuring everything from eco adventures, gastronomic experiences, live music, art, to wellbeing workshops, children’s activities and plenty of opportunities to try or learn something new.
To wrap proceedings up is the ever-popular Little Scribblers event on March 17, which has a science theme this year.
Visitors are encouraged to don their lab coats and safety glasses to have fun and learn through experiments, astronomy and forensics.
