The Connies is a performance troupe born of the rich 112 year Melbourne Tram Conducting tradition. They continue the rites of bag and tickets. The Connies bring along a yarning, poetic and singing trammie tradition. Dress in uniforms that span the era’s of tram fashion, swing beautifully crafted conductors leather bags and produce tickets in the form of collectable swap-cards. Connies collectables track environmental, social, historic and cultural themes.

We entertain, educate and inform.They will be issuing tickets throughout the festival!

For this Festival, the Connies' themes will centre biodiversity and urban stormwater.
