Can Bega witness a world record in the making?

The Bega Streetlight Festival is set to get a serious dose of somersaulting when Marcus of Marvellousness takes to the stage for an incredible world record attempt on Friday 25 September.

And there’s a pretty special number attached to the challenge...

🎂 Marcus will be 62 years and 55 days old on the day of the attempt!

The record attempt will be recognised by Guinness World Records, with Marcus taking on the challenge without an official Guinness adjudicator present. The attempt will be filmed, with the hope that great footage can help take the achievement even further.

Marcus has plenty of experience turning heads with his somersaults, and there are already plenty of them to check out on Instagram at .

The attempt will form part of the Bega Streetlight Festival opening celebrations, so make sure you’re there to see whether Marcus can make history!

📅 Friday 25 September
📍 Bega CBD
🎟️ Free event

Come for the lights, stay for the music, food and entertainment... and keep your eyes on the sky for some seriously impressive gymnastics!
