With an estimated 5,000 visitors over the weekend, the Riverwood Autumn Fair festival delivered a fabulous day of exciting entertainment and activities under the autumn skies of Sydney.
Riverwood Autumn Fair festival is an annual celebration which aims to engage and enhance community spirit in the local area. The event is also an important fundraiser for a variety of programs designed to benefit the community as a whole.
The Riverwood Community Centre started the annual festival 36 years ago and over its life cycle has grown to become a far wider, more inclusive celebration for the community at large.
Event relocation is a sure winner for the Community: Brian Boyd
The festival was re-located to the magnificent Riverwood Wetlands in Salt Pan Reserve four years ago and continues to garner popular support in the area. The 2016 festival featured over 100 community and market stalls where a wide variety of hand crafted goods and multicultural food and refreshments were available.
Performances on the grand stage featured the just-formed Riverwood Community Choir, Vietnamese dance troupes, Riverwood's Air League and the dulcet tones of the beautiful Riverwood Public School Choir. The range of performances was well received by the enthusiastic crowd, adding an air of positive energy to this fantastic event.
Special Guests support the festival through attending in strong numbers
Pauline Gallagher, CEO of the Riverwood Community Centre, warmly welcomed special guests on the day, including Cr Brian Robson, mayor of Canterbury, Cr Karl Saleh, Canterbury deputy mayor, Tony Burke federal member for Watson and Jihad Dib, state member for Lakemba.
The event was peppered with special performances by 'Joeys Choir', a magical musical group from St Joseph's Riverwood School, along with the Mc Phillips Highland Dancers, the Mortdale Physical Culture Club plus shows by the King and Queen of Green's Realm of Rubbish and the fascinating Reptiles Rule.
