Village festival bounces back

10th February 2010 02:00:07 AM

The Upper Beaconsfield Village Festival has something for everyone.

THE UPPER Beaconsfield Village Festival is back again on Saturday 20 February.

The renowned Tower Challenge fun run will mark the start of the festival at 9am.

This year, the run will be launched by local MP Tammy Lobato, with trophy presentations and the awarding of the Upper Beaconsfield Citizen of the Year around 10am by Cardinia Shire mayor Graeme Legge.

Join the residents of Upper Beaconsfield in their idyllic bushland setting as they celebrate “community” and the end of Community Week, which remembers the Ash Wednesday Fires of 1983 and the sense of community and support that it instilled.

The festival will play host to all sorts of entertainment and amusements for the kids and the young at heart, with the ever-popular Animal Nursery outside the Upper Beaconsfield Indigenous Nursery on Halford Road, the rock climbing wall, and bungee trampoline keeping company with the unique collection of motorbikes and cars outside the milk bar.

Follow your nose to the CFA to get your sausage in bread and slide down the giant slide.

With heaps of stalls to browse and music to entertain, there will be something for everyone at the Upper Beaconsfield Village Festival on Saturday 20 February.
