  • People will come from all around to watch the Moomba Parade and join the festivities.

  • There is a sign for Moomba Festival, which has been around for a long time.

  • This is how you sign Moomba Festival.

  • The reason Moomba Festival is signed like this is because of a mascot that was used at the time.

  • The mascot was a smiling clown with a tall pointy hat.

  • The sign we now use resembles that pointy hat.

  • The clown’s costume was made up of Aboriginal Boomerangs and other festive elements.

  • It is because of this well-known mascot from the 50’s and 60’s,

  • that we use this sign for Moomba Festival.
