Beenleigh Historical Village & Museum presents Heritage Day Festival on Saturday, 17 May, where guests will have a chance to travel back in time.
Beyond live demonstrations of life in the 1800s, markets, food, and face painting, a session dedicated to reminiscing about the Watt orchestra will take place on the day from 10:30 am to 11:30 am.Â
The Watt orchestra performed at monthly dances held in local town halls, including in Beenleigh, Cedar Creek, Wolffdene, and Logan Village from the 1930s to the 1980s. Â
Players in the orchestra have all passed away, but members of their families will attend and share stories about their performances.Â
Reuniting the Watt orchestra players and their audience.Â
