This year’s Living Smart Festival promises to deliver a jam-packed schedule. It’s a family-friendly event with workshops, demonstrations, market stalls and presentations by some of Australia’s most prominent and innovative people in sustainability. Let’s think global, and act local. In 2024, the festival will be a one-day event held at Speers Point Park between 9 am and 2 pm on September 21st.
