The Moyneyana Festival Programme is well under way and there will be some new events listed there - Afrobeat a fresh, vibrant, entertaining drumming event, which enables all to participate and Black Snake productions bring their wildlife display and demonstration to town in mid-January.�

Of course many of the "old favourites" will also be there - #YB/C FM Musicfest hosted by Streamline, Ticklish Allsorts Moyneyana Kids Fun Day, Wild Action, Card Making classes - and many many more to keep the locals and visitors entertained during the summer break.�

Festival chairman Reg Harry said the broad range of events including musical entertainment for all ages, theatre, gallery exhibitions, sports and tours would again stamp the festival as one of the best in Australia and will no doubt keep Port Fairy buzzing from Christmas Eve to Australia Day.
