Dubbed the ‘Queen of the north’ in a recent Sunday Mail article, Di Queen will once again bring light and laughter to the festival as ‘Queenie’ the cassowary.
’Queenie’ will lead the ’Drumming of Cassowaries’ Parade and rove the park during the day between sharing the MC role on the stage with Mel who has been the stage presenter for the festival since its beginning in 2017. This year Mel will be on the stage to mentor Ellie who is keen to learn the ropes to become a Master of Ceremonies.
