Festival welcomes 30,000th guest

When Christopher Bogacki attended the Geelong Small Business Festival, little did he know he would be the event’s 30,000th attendee.

Christopher attended ‘Unleashing Reels, YouTube Shorts and TikTok for Social Media Success’ by Video Vault and was presented with the Golden Ticket to the Geelong Small Business Festival, allowing him to attend as many remaining festival events of his choice for free (which are not sold out).

As part of being the 30,000th ticket holder, Christopher also received a three-month membership at any of our Swim Sport & Leisure venues, a double pass to The Carousel and a double pit pass to the Geelong Revival Motoring Festival.

Christopher and four friends will also have the opportunity to tour the Meredith Dairy farm, a behind the scenes experience not available to the public, where he’ll learn about the process to make their delicious goat’s cheese, discover their sustainability practices and meet the farm animals.

Additionally, Christopher will have the unique opportunity to collaborate on content highlighting Geelong’s UNESCO City of Design status, in partnership with the National Wool Museum.

Presented by the City of Greater Geelong and the Geelong Chamber of Commerce, the Geelong Small Business Festival is in its 14th year and wraps up today (August 23). It supports and inspires community members who are keen to start a business or grow and improve their existing business.

Mayor Trent Sullivan said the annual festival remained a calendar highlight since it was established in 2010, clocking up 630 events during that time.

“We’re thrilled to have our 30,000th community member attend the Geelong Small Business Festival,” he said.

“Congratulations to Christopher and we hope that you get the most out of attending an unlimited number of events for free for the remainder of the festival.”
