ONSLOW’S POP FEST IS BACK!On behalf of the Shire of Ashburton, it brings me great pleasure to welcome the fifth biennial Passion of the Pilbara Festival to Onslow. 2017 is one of our biggest Passion of the Pilbara Festival’s ever held, extending over three days and showcasing the many opportunities Onslow has to offer. Designed as a celebration to capture the heart and soul of our vibrant community as well as showcasing a fantastic line-up of well-known Australian artists and performers, this year promises to offer something for everyone – locals and visitors alike. Locals have long known of the treasures of Onslow, including the beautiful and rugged environment, the climate, the pace of life and strength of the community spirit. With the developments and transformations taking place in the community, Onslow’s treasures can stay a secret no more!With a focus on the spectacular Mackerel Islands, the outstanding fishing, engaging local culture, music and art, the festival will showcase the unique tourism opportunities available to visitors.Many thanks and appreciation goes to our festival partner Chevron Australia, as well as our long list of sponsors, whose funding and support have been vital in bringing this festival to fruition. I believe we all have a unique passion for this special place we call home and I look forward to celebrating it with you across these three exciting days.
