Woytopia celebrates green living

Woytopia is scheduled for Sunday, October 30, at Woy Woy South Public School as a celebration of green living, music and arts.

Gates will open at 9:30am with a breakfast which will include vegetarian foods, organic cakes, a barbecue and fair trade coffee.

An Indigenous smoke ceremony will be held with Gabby Duncan at 9.45am, followed by the local Indigenous Ganang Spirit Dancers.

The event will include a diverse line-up of music and dance, including Latin jazz with Ricky Vargas and Dimirtri Vouros, the ABC award winning Dr Goodvibe, Indian Dance workshops and performance with Jita, the Tangeloes choir from Ettalong, and a Drumbala school and drum circle.

Children's activities will run all day and will include bush tucker and native animal shows, rides, face painting, soccer, henna and a creative Steiner-based playroom for children under five.

Visitors will have the chance to learn about solar cooking, organic gardening and growing your own vegetables, as well as about the work of local green organisations.

Woytopia will also include stalls with food, clothes, a fair trade coffee van and solar power.

A raffle will be held on the day with a double season pass and camping at the Peats Ridge Festival awarded as first prize.
