A festival of fun

There is plenty of colour and action, as the streets were lined with performers, stalls and fun rides.

A healthy dose of fun and plenty of activities again proved to be a great way to attract the masses, with festival-goers flocking to the PAVE Festival’s Emerald FunFest on Sunday 7 April.

Amid the fine autumn weather, the streets and laneways of Emerald were filled with plenty of activity, with live entertainment, children’s rides and many stalls proving again why this event is so successful.

The street festival kicks off a host of events which will continue throughout April.

The PAVE Festival runs until Sunday 14 April and every day of the week there will be all sorts of free workshops and shows.

Visitors can see an art or photography exhibition or attend the opening of an art show or a book launch.

Visit www.pave.org.au for event information and bookings.

A full printed program of events can be picked up in libraries, neighbourhood houses and other locations around the town.
