Fifth Fragrance Fest
On Saturday 9 March the public have the opportunity to visit this year’s ten Fragrance Fest stops.
From small beginnings this popular annual fest on the Fragrance Route has grown each year, and this year’s celebration promises to be the best ever! The fest encompasses a circular route of 40 kilometres in the Great Brak River area.
“What makes it unique, is that this is the only day when all venues on the Fragrance Route open their doors and do something special,” says fest organiser Nelma Ruschioni. “During the year people can visit with tour operators or make private appointments, but of course it is much more fun when the whole route is in a festive mood!” Check the opening times of each venue, and plan your trip accordingly: Great Brak Museum - 08:30-14:00.
