Warracknabeal

YFest Easter Festival is celebrating its 21st year of promoting activities in Warracknabeal and Yarriambiack Shire this month.

And this year’s event will include some regular favourite attractions as well as a couple of additions.

The weekend launches with the opening of a four-day art show in Yarriambiack Shire Council offices on Good Friday.

This year the show will highlight the work of Peter Hill and Joanne Pearey.

Also hitting off festivities on the Friday will be a four-day Yfest golf tournament.

Easter Saturday looms as a busy day of activities with all Warracknabeal businesses and

coffee shops open to cater for an expected large influx of visitors.

Activities start in the main street before 10am, with the highlight of the weekend an Easter Parade starting at 11am.

This year there will be musical entertainment outside Warracknabeal Post Office provided by the Powell Brothers and a show-and-shine car and vehicle display in Woolcock Street, around the corner from the post office.

Warracknabeal’s Community Garden will be open for all, with morning tea available before the parade and a light lunch after. Doors to historic Warracknabeal Ladies Rest Rooms will also open with Devonshire tea available.

A monthly Community Market will coincide with the Saturday festival and present a wide variety of stalls.
