Albany Car Classic 2017

The Albany Classic is a historic race event and is one of only two events of its type still going today in Australia. The modern event is as much a festival as serious motorsport and caters for the whole family. Crowds line the city streets to witness the vintage and classic cars  zooming around the streets and our SEA  performers zooming in the skies. 

Festival of the Sea

Carnival D’Mar (Carnival of the Sea) provided an immersive environment to explore. The performances incorporated puppetry, music, dance, circus, physical theatre and clowning into a high energy and inviting experience. The show begun with a parade that traveled from the Albany Entertainment Centre, along the refurbished foreshore to the Boat Shed, the home of the Festival of the Sea. SEA Members were involved in the creation, development and realisation of all characters, puppets, booths, stalls, exhibits and other carnival features.
