Festival program packed with something for everyone

Have you had a chance to look at this year's Henry Lawson Festival program?

Special guest, Deidre Carroll OAM highly commends this year's festival program saying there is something for everybody to do.

"If anybody says there's nothing to do, well they haven't looked at the program because there's a million things to do," Deidre said.

The festival program kicked off last night and what better way than poetry by firelight at the Rose Street Little Theatre?

If you missed that don't worry as tonight is expected to be just as great.

At 7pm the official opening of the art exhibition will be held at the Community Hub.

"We have one of the best art galleries in NSW," Deidre said.

"We have a wonderful art gallery here and the festival promotes artists to come to town."

Yo won't want to miss this opening as competition winners will be announced.

On Friday the Henry Lawson Festival will light up the Grenfell night sky with the Bioluminescence Show from 6pm to 9pm at the Grenfell Showground Pavilion.
