Episode 086: Reimagining a Classic: Community, Creativity, and the Dahlia and Arts Festival
In this episode of Country Creatives, Reece and Caleb dive into the world of community festivals, focusing on the iconic Eaglehawk Dahlia and Arts Festival and a new initiative called the Ideas Forum. As president of Eaglehawk Festivals Inc., Reece shares the vision behind the forum—an open call for new ideas to help evolve the festival while honouring its deep local roots.
They explore the importance of community involvement, the realities of post-COVID adaptation, and the challenge of volunteer fatigue—all while offering a hopeful look at how creativity and collaboration can breathe new life into beloved traditions.
Whether you're a creative, a community-builder, or just love a good festival, this episode is a celebration of reinvention, inclusion, and collective imagination.
