SPARK launch brings delight and draws thousands of happy people to Ipswich Central


Listen Later

SPARK Ipswich brings more delight to Ipswich Central as the city centre lights up. On the first night (July 11) Ipswich families came out in big numbers to enjoy the sights, sounds and soak up the atmosphere. In this episode you’ll hear from two of the nine artists featured in the deLIGHT program. The good news is there’s plenty more to come until July 20 and it’s all free, and Yamanto Central successfully launches Share Space. Plus, Focal Community Services is holding an all-abilities talent show later this month on Thursday July 24.
