Held at the Gemco Players Community Theatre on Sunday 6 April, highlights included live music performances, family-friendly activities like carnival rides, and an array of food trucks offering delicious treats.

The FunFest is at the start of the almost week-long PAVED Festival, standing for Performing and Visual Arts in Emerald & District, celebrating all things arts and culture in Emerald.

PAVED will include a host of events each day until Saturday 12 April, such as an open mic night, exhibitions and art workshops.
