Brushtail possums, squirrel gliders and boobook owls won't be the only late-night visitors to the city’s Botanic Gardens in October, with local bipeds of the humankind invited into the gardens for live music after dark.

Headlining FUSION BOTANICAL, the city’s multicultural festival, are Milan Ring (Sydney), Approachable Members of Your Local Community (Melbourne), Ajak Kwai (Melbourne), and a thumping DJ set from Klue (Sydney).

These unique Australian artists will bring an eclectic mix of sounds and styles to the Botanic Gardens stage on Saturday 15 October, kicking off at 4pm.

Wagga Wagga City Council’s Director Community Janice Summerhayes said FUSION has grown to be one of the city’s biggest outdoor events, with thousands of residents and visitors from across the region and beyond soaking in the sights, sounds and scents.

“We’ve curated an exciting and eclectic line-up featuring some of the country’s most creative and talented artists,” Ms Summerhayes said.

“Along with our headliners, there will be a mix of other entertainment including a DJ, roving performers, a live sand sculpture reveal, giant lawn games and our amazing community performers.

“You will want to arrive hungry at FUSION BOTANICAL, with more than 25 authentic and contemporary street food and drink vendors congregating in the much-loved World Food Village.

“The full details will be announced in the coming weeks.”

Try authentic street food, soak up the atmosphere and watch diverse live music performances at FUSION BOTANICAL in the Wagga Wagga Botanic Gardens, Macleay Street, on Wiradjuri Country, from 4pm to 9.30pm on Saturday 15 October.
