Here’s something to ponder … what does it take to construct a Summer Arts Festival? Sure you need the usual suspects … an inviting performance space, a truckload of brilliant performers ready to give their all, a smattering of interesting food options, a dab or two of alcohol, and these days, some weird and wonderful seating options. But there’s one essential ingredient that I’d overlooked until I watched the construction of this years Stirling Summer Arts Festival at Scarborough Beach. Here are a few photos … can you pick it?

Enjoy the festival everyone.
