Residents of Blacktown City will be hoping for an end to current stay-at-home orders to allow for the return of the annual Doonside Village Festival.
Blacktown City Council has partnered with the Blacktown Lions Club and the Doonside Festival Committee in presenting the 2021 Doonside Village Festival, to be held on Saturday, 24 July between 10am and 3pm in Doonside at Hill End Road.
Currently the festival is planned to feature a wide range of activities and entertainment including rides, workshops, stage performers, stalls and of course a wide range of festival food!
Blacktown City Mayor Tony Bleasdale OAM, said the Doonside Village Festival would be an opportunity for all the community to get together and have a good time.
"However, public safety is our highest priority. The festival will only go ahead if it is allowed under Public Health orders and under the strictest COVID-safe conditions of entry.
"I know just how vibrant and passionate the Doonside community is. A family-friendly festival would be a great way for the community to come together and to have a well-deserved celebration.
"Council and the Doonside Festival organising committee will continue to monitor Public Health orders in order to determine whether or not the festival will be held on the scheduled day, or be postponed.
"I am hopeful that the Doonside Village Festival will go ahead but the community can rest assured that it will only go ahead if Public Health orders allow it, and it would be held strictly within COVID-safe guidelines and requirements," Mayor Bleasdale said,
