Other artists that are showcased include Justine McAllister, George Rose, Travis Price, Sahil Roy, Sofles and Mel Stringer with highlights including an enormous Hello Kitty inflatable.
The festivals food and beverage offering includes Darling Square’s restaurants who are serving up more than 30 Hello Kitty-inspired dishes, with Ume Burgerboasting a Bad Badtz-Maru cheeseburger and Toastie Smith selling a limited edition toastie with Hello Kitty-style ham bows.
