Penrith City Council
Penrith Valley is good at putting on free community festivals and events. Over the years Penrith City Council’s Australia Day celebrations have proved enormously popular while other community events like the Penrith City Festival and even the Penrith Show have attracted huge crowds.
Well, this year Penrith City Council is putting on some more big community events under the banner of ‘Penrith City Celebrates 2009’. There are many features to this great week of celebrations and one of them, which I’m personally involved in helping to organise, is the ‘Rock at the Weir Festival’ which will take place at Penrith Weir on Sunday, November 15 from midday to 5pm.
The milestone to be celebrated at ‘Rock at the Weir’ is the 100th anniversary of the Weir itself as well as the 50th birthday of Penrith as a ‘city’.
‘Rock at the Weir’ will have a real 1959 theme to it with rock and roll bands performing on stage, street performers amongst the crowd, milk bars, hula hoops Barbie dolls and much more including a live outside broadcast by Penrith’s local radio station VINTAGE 87.6FM.
There’s lots more to the event and the week itself and I’ll be sure to keep everyone up to date over the next few months.
Also, if any of our tourism or business operators want to become involved in the ‘Rock at the Weir’ event either via sponsorship or any other way, please don’t hesitate to contact me by phone; 47327 466 or email; plang@penrithcity.nsw.gov.au
I’d love to hear from you.
