Lively, rhythmic dance will feature this year - four Latin American dancers will perform, bringing a vibrant South American element to this multicultural festival.
The loud music, fast footwork and swinging hips reflect a recently introduced element to the event; an annual guest nation attraction. The group is fresh from five weeks of Samba training in Brazil.
The 11th annual Lambing Flat Sculpture, Wood and Big Art Exhibition features at Young Town Hall. The exhibition, presented by the Young Society of Artists, is a major festival drawcard and has support from artists and artisans from a wide area. The exhibition will be on show from Wednesday through to Sunday. Make sure you catch the Greenstone Lodge singers from Temora's aged care facility perform in the Town Hall foyer at 2pm too.
