Festival fun at Ravenshoe
IT’S all happening in Ravenshoe this weekend as the Torimba Festival enters its second big weekend.
The festival goes until 19 October, and this Saturday is one of the highlights, with the annual Mardi Gras street parade to add colour and fun to Grigg Street from 3pm.
Activities kick off at 2pm with the woodchops held beside the Club Hotel, lots of market stalls, arts and crafts, food stalls and loads of fun for the kids with a jumping castle, chair swings and a merry-go-round as well as Melville’s duck racing and animal farm.
The Torimba “A Moment in Time” street parade starts at 3pm, followed by a “lolly explosion”, old fashioned games, a truck pull and fireworks to end the night.
The Festival of the Forest is also on display, with a wide variety of woodcraft, furniture, sculpture and more on show at the Festival Hall.
The crowning of this year’s Torimba Festival queen will take place on 19 October at the ball, with tickets on sale now through the Central Servo.
