Musicians from the Curious Rendition Orchestra, led by David Rooney, paraded along the main street, from the Red Point Artists’ space at 100 Wentworth Street to the Port Kembla Community Centre.

The community centre is home to Jam ’n Bread, a free multicultural community music project  held on the second Saturday of the month.

This month the performers paid homage to the musical traditions of Greece, with members from Greek band Zorba’s Kefi hosting the Jam ’n Bread event and Arthur Rorris demonstrating his own self-made baglama - a small long-necked plucked string instrument.

The festivities, designed for fun and to engage people in arts and cultural programs, kicked off in the morning with Art of the Grass featuring art stalls in the courtyard, open studios and free painting for children.

Red Point Gallery presented Four Felt Birds, a collection of original and innovative felt works by the Illawarra Felters Group. A guided art trail along Wentworth Street was also held.

Jam ’n Bread co-ordinator Ann Lehmann-Kuit said the festivities were highly successful.

‘‘It was the best parade I have ever been a part of,’’ she said.

‘‘It was really fun having so many musicians, and linking up Arts on the Grass with Jam ’n Bread was just such a nice way to do it.’’

Ms Lehmann-Kuit said the parade ended with a feast of the senses with the baking of Greek olive bread.
