The festival has received significant support from the region’s Rotary Clubs, including the Rotary Club of Central Launceston, of which Mr Preece is a member.

A partnership between Blooming Tasmania and the club meant visitors were able to donate to the national drought relief effort when purchasing tickets.

Sunrise Rotary Club assisted with tickets on the door, while Launceston Rotary Club manned the barbecue at City Park.
