Logan pride powers free Kingston Butter Factory party
City of Logan residents have taste-tested the Kingston Butter Factory (KBF) Cultural Precinct’s exciting entertainment menu in recent weeks, and now it is time to appreciate the full-bodied flavour of the thrilling new venue.
The KBF Cultural Precinct will be celebrated in spectacular style on Saturday, April 30, and the community is invited to join the party for free.
Popular Logan-raised artist Chris Tamwoy will headline the KBF Launch Party, which will also pay tribute to the City of Logan’s proud cultural identity.
Local artists including singer-songwriter Tania Rose Gibuma, the Imanzi Rwandan Cultural group, Heilani Productions, LUATÈ, MR.MR, the 4114 collective and Te Tai Mauri will also perform with a variety of musical, dance, visual and spoken word performances.
City Lifestyle Chair Councillor Laurie Koranski said the community celebration would be the beginning of a bright and bold new future for the historic site.
“Logan City Council’s transformation of the iconic Kingston Butter Factory has given the venue a new lease on life,” Cr Koranski said.
“Since the opening of the outdoor precinct earlier this year, our community has relished the chance to come together and to be entertained in this fantastic new space.
“What better way to celebrate this bold new venue than with a fantastic outdoor showcase by some of the City of Logan’s most talented artists.”
