Three weeks until Vibe Alive lands in Mildura!

After attracting young people from all over NSW to Coonamble for the hugely successful inaugural 2009 event, Vibe Alive is gearing up to bring the students of Victoria two days of creative, inspiring, healthy fun!

The Mildura Vibe Alive will be held on Wednesday & Thursday July 29 and 30 at the Mildura Campus of the Victorian P0-12 College of Koorie Education.

Joining the hundreds of students expected at Vibe Alive will be Australian Idol Casey Donovan and stars of 2008 So You Think You Can Dance? Courtney Walter and Sermsah Bin Saad aka Suri. As well as performing for festival-goers, the stars will be judging students’ performances and offering aspiring singers and dancers advice and inspiration.

To help the community of Mildura celebrate this exciting event, a FREE Vibe Alive Community Concert will be held at the College of Koorie Education, Mildura Campus, Benetook Ave Mildura, behind the TAFE on Wednesday, July 29 from 6.30pm.

Vibe Alive is a two-day festival for young Australians of all backgrounds that combines music, sport, art, education and healthy living in a high-energy, youth-friendly setting. Vibe Alive allows students to sing, dance, play, create and learn in an environment where they can express themselves, share their talents and celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures.

Participants also have the opportunity to explore healthy living and career options as well as boost literacy and numeracy skills.
