A touch of Dutch comes to Casey

A taste of the Netherlands came to Berwick on Saturday 16 March.

Hundreds gathered for the Holland Festival at Akoonah Park where people of Dutch origins or those with an interest in the Dutch culture enjoyed a great day out with food, entertainment and Dutch cultural experiences.

There was 70 stallholders including merchants, food vendors, exhibitions, and information booths.

Family fun included performances and displays from artists as well as face painting, sand painting, sensory fun toys and more.

Every cent of profit on the day goes to charity through the Rotary Club of Casey.

The Holland Festival Inc. has a working committee that operates the festival and is made up of Rotarians plus selected invitees all of whom are volunteers.
