Byron Rebooted
The Renaissance changed the world, a cultural revolution that promoted the rediscovery of classical, philosophy, literature, and art. It was about pushing the boundaries of what we know – and what we could achieve.
After many months of watching the sand roll down the main streets of Byron Bay, we are all looking forward to a semblance of normality and ‘getting amongst it.
Here’s a quick summary of events and things you can do now to replenish your soul.
In its 22nd year, the Italian film festival is currently showing until November 7 at the Palace Cinemas (link). It’s the most prominent Italian film festival globally, and this year Roberto Rossellini is honored in a retrospective. Don’t miss the ‘Marriage Italian Style’ starring Sophia Loren, the 1964 classic.
It’s been a while since we could wear our dancing shoes on and have a boogie. But you may be a little out of practice – just sayin’.. ‘Dancing in the Dark’ is the perfect place to meet new people and get back into the groove. It’s the funniest fitness class to retro dance hits that will make you smile. Let your inhibitions out and dance like nobody’s watching. Every week on Tuesday evening from 7 pm to 8 pm at Lennox Head Cultural Centre. Visit the website for more information https://www.meetup.com
The Byron Bay Twilight market located in Railway park starts from 4 pm to 9 pm every Saturday. Aspiring designers and creative souls showcase their wares. Enjoy great music and incredible food while you browse and chat in the vibrant, family-friendly atmosphere.
