WELCOME TO SHINJU MATSURI 2019
7 - 15 SEPTEMBER
It is with great pleasure that we welcome you all to the 2019 instalment of Shinju Matsuri, a
nine-day celebration of Broome, it’s diverse culture, pearling history and natural beauty.
This year’s program of events ranges from family-friendly, locally focused activities that enliven
our community to high-end tourism experiences that will showcase the best our region has to offer
to visitors from around the country and the world.
As always, the melting pot of Broome’s population provides cultural experiences such as the
Floating Lantern Matsuri, where people send messages to loved ones on the open ocean, the
Malaysian influence of Makun Dulu, where people come together to share a meal of tasty Broome
delicacies and Jetty to Jetty, where people experience tales told by the traditional landowners of
Broome, the Yawuru people.
Foodies will not be disappointed with events such as the Sunset Long Table Dinner, with celebrity
chefs Brendan Pang and Diana Chan set to serve up locally inspired menus utilising fabulous
produce sourced in the region.
There is also plenty to see for art-lovers with the Shinju Matsuri Art Awards at the Broome Civic
Centre growing in size each year and the A View to Asia sculpture exhibition on Cable Beach
continuing to capture imaginations.
All of your favourite family-friendly events are making a return in 2019 and we can’t wait to see
Broome’s creativeness on display at the LiveLighter Float Parade through the streets of Chinatown
followed by the LiveLighter Mardi Gras on Male Oval. We’ll even be celebrating our four, and
sometimes two-legged friends at the Rotary Club of Broome Pets in the Park.
We are also looking ahead to 2020, which marks
a very special milestone for Shinju Matsuri.
To coincide with the 50th anniversary of the festival
a large-scale art installation will be created
at the newly redeveloped Town Beach. International
artist Lisa Foo will be in Broome this year, meeting
with local artists to plan for the project. You can
catch them all too at a series of workshops held at
the Festival Info Booth (see page 9 for details).
Shinju Matsuri would not be possible without the
commitment of the volunteer Board, community
members who contribute to the events and our
fantastic sponsors. We thank them all for their
generous support.

Shinju Matsuri President

MESSAGE
FROM THE MINISTER
The McGowan Government is a proud sponsor of Shinju Matsuri through Tourism WA’s Regional Events Program.
The program supports medium to large regional events across the State to boost tourism, increase community
vibrancy and participation, and develop regional areas.
The Regional Events Program plays an important role in positioning Western Australia as an exciting destination to
visit and a great place to live by showcasing and promoting a region’s unique and diverse attractions.
Tourism is a key part of the Government’s plan to diversify the economy, create jobs and develop business
opportunities, especially in regional Western Australia.
Events play an important role in this plan with the Government sponsoring a range of sporting, cultural, arts and
culinary events across the State, through Tourism WA, to attract more visitors, encourage them to stay longer,
disperse further and do more while they are here.
We hope everyone enjoys the event and takes the time to explore the Kimberley region.

“It is a great honour to be working on this project for the

Town Beach,” Tomoko says.
Shinju Matsuri originated in 1970 from a combination of
three Asian cultural festivals in August - Japanese Bon
Matsuri, Malaysian Hari Mardeka and Chinese Hang Seng.
The combination of these celebrations became a special
event for the local community and tourists, and played an
important role in the history of Broome. Being Japanese, I
am interested in the development of new projects taking
the community forward, whilst acknowledging our past.

10SHINJU MATSURI’S DRAGON HEART
Sammy the Dragon is the beloved mascot of Shinju Matsuri, who is awakened each year at the festival’s Opening
Ceremony and after several appearances over nine days, is finally put back to sleep at the Festival Finale.
Dragons in ancient Chinese tradition symbolised luck, “I make sure he has enough legs to dance through

“I try to plan Sammy’s activities during Shinju but Sammy

know what he will get up to – he is quite impulsive and if
he wants to do something there is no stopping him,” says
Lisa.

Sammy is an ancient but active dragon so strong
teens and adults are required to be his legs, however
there are roles for all ages, fitness levels and abilities.
In the past Sammy the Dragon’s legs were provided by
the town’s winning football team for the season. To entice
players to join the annual Float Parade, Sammy would
stop at the Roebuck Bay Hotel to enjoy a few beers and
this tradition of passing by the Roey continues to this day.
People of all ages love Sammy, with some locals starting
as lions or drummers as young children, then progressing
to be legs and eventually even aspiring to be Sammy’s
head. Possibly the most important role in waking and
putting Sammy back to sleep each year is played by the
oldest living man of Chinese descent born in Chinatown,
a title currently held by Doug Fong, who ceremoniously
removes Sammy’s blindfold at the Opening Ceremony
and puts it back on again at the Festival Finale.
According to Lisa, Sammy has a personality of his own
and is curious, cheeky and quite spiritual, with many
people feeling a sense of happiness and peace just be
being around him.
“When we open the doors to his den to begin training
each year it is like greeting an old friend, but he also
commands respect, reverence and admiration,” she said.
In the months between festivals Sammy sleeps peacefully
on display at the Broome Civic Centre. His skin is made
of Chinese silk and his body is bamboo, so he gets some

symbolic ways possible at The Floating Lantern Matsuri. Whatever
your message is, watch it float in glowing unison with all the other
messages into the sunset.
The Floating Lantern Matsuri embraces everything about life, love, peace and
friendship, providing you with a chance to get your thoughts down in writing and
gently send them off onto destinations unknown. Whether your message is personal
in memory of a lost loved one, a wish, a prayer or general words of encouragement
and happiness for the world – put it on a lantern and watch it’s peaceful, glowing
journey on the evening tide.
VIP TICKETS
VIP Tickets will include your lantern kit, free flowing drinks
and canapes aswell as comfortable seating as you relax,
listen to music and watch the sunset before and after
sending your floating lantern message out to sea.
Enironmental Considerations
We love how beautiful and clean Broome’s coast is and we want to keep it that way!
Once the lanterns have floated into the sunset and you return to enjoy your picnics or VIP entertainment,
the Shinju team are hard at work making sure no lanterns are left astray to float out and pollute the ocean.
Boats, barriers and Shinju swimmers ensure each lantern is collected. Help us keep the beach beautiful and
remember to pick up your picnic leftovers and wrapping.
Please consider the environment when decorating your lanterns at home. While we do recover the lanterns,
we advise against using glitter or non-water-soluble paints that may make their way into the ocean.
27LANTERN PURCHASES
1. ONLINE – Purchase your lantern kit online. Then pick up your lantern from the Info Booth
(located in the Roey Carpark in Broome). If you’d like to decorate your lantern before
launching it we advised you pick it up before the event.
2. INFO BOOTH – Purchase your lantern at Shinju Matsuri at the Info Booth in the Roey
Carpark – Sale at the Info Booth will close on Friday 13 September at 12pm.
3. AT THE EVENT – Purchase your lantern on the beach at the Floating Lantern Matsuri event
– there are only a limited number of lanterns for sale on the beach so we would advise
pre purchasing your lantern to ensure you don’t miss out.
DECORATE YOUR LANTERN AT HOME OR ON THE DAY AT GANTHEAUME POINT
Bring your lantern with you to Gantheaume Point so you can prepare your lantern for launch.
Lanterns will set sail at sunset and we encourage you to bring your swimming gear as there’s
a possibility of getting a bit wet when launching your lanterns into the water.
Make a lovely evening of it and bring a picnic or take advantage of our VIP tickets to make
FLOATING LANTURN MATSURI(DPS)
this sunset experience even more memorable.Please consider the environment when
decorating your lanterns at home. While we do recover the lanterns, we advise against using
glitter or non-water-soluble paints that may make their way into the ocean.
