Various locations in Ipswich
SPARK Ipswich is an 11-day city-wide event celebrating the people, places, arts and culture of Ipswich.
The 2022 program will deliver up a fresh program of festival content. Music, comedy, arts, exhibitions, circus, projection, culture, cabaret, technology, collaboration and discussion will take over the City.
SPARK After Dark 7 – 17 July
When the sun goes down, SPARK AFTER DARK comes to life showcasing projections, light activations, music and performance. Gather your family and friends and explore deLight and pixel on foot or view the light spectacle from luminate – the new festival hub in Timothy Molony Park.
Monster Siege 8 – 10 July
Monster Siege is more than a game. It’s a fictional quest where kids star as the best versions of themselves.
It’s a show. On a sportsfield. There are rubber ducks. The dastardly King Slobber will stop at nothing to have them. The Game Master and the young defenders will do whatever it takes to protect them.
Peter and the Wolf – 16 July
This light-hearted symphony tells the irreverent story of a young boy named Peter who joins a menagerie of animals to outwit a fierce wolf.
With animals and characters brought to life by different instruments, this is the perfect introduction to the live orchestra experience.
