Opening Parade



It’s true, the traditional COME OUT Opening Parade is returning. A ginormous herd of wildly creative children will take over the streets of Adelaide heralding the opening of the Come Out Festival 2011.

Meeting in Victoria Square/Tarndanyangga they’ll rumble and stomp down King William Street. Along the way they’ll pause at the Adelaide Town Hall and sing The Mighty Choir Of Small Voices song to dignitaries gathered on the Town Hall balcony, before making their way to the COME OUT Festival Hub at the Adelaide Festival Centre.

1. A choir trainer visiting your school to support learning The Mighty Choir of Small Voices song
