THIS YEAR’S Granny Smith Festival
came to a spectacular close on Sat-
urday night.

The finale concert, held on the Oval Stage

a mix of classics and mash-ups to sing and
dance to.

Headline act, Korean-Australian singer-
songwriter, national star and former Eurovi-
sion contestant, Dami Im, wowed the crowd
in the climax to the day’s entertainment, fol-
lowed by a spectacular fireworks display.
