Sarah BrookesSouthern Gazette

A CROWD of 20,000 is expected to descend upon the Stirk Park area when Kalamunda’s beloved Zig Zag Community Arts Festival returns to the hills after a one year sabbatical.

Festival co-director Celia Cheffins said she had been overwhelmed by the wealth of creativity in the community and the number of people wanting to be involved.

“This year the ‘Imagine’ Festival promises to top all of our past events by combining a festival in the park and a street party in town,” she said.
