Katoomba Leura Online

The annual village fair is due to start on the 10th of October.  It provides the culmination to the Leura Gardens Festival that begins a week earlier on 3rd October.

The Garden Festival will showcase 9 private gardens, open for visitors to raise money for Katoomba Hospital. The separate Village Fair will see Leura Mall closed off to allow local shop keepers and others to setup stalls in the main block between Railway Parade and Megalong St.

The Leura garden festival, Fleuralia, will run Saturday 4th October 2008 to Sunday 12th October 2008 inclusive.
Gardens are open 9.30am to 4.30pm daily, and multi-visit tickets are available.

The first weekend will also see the Leura street fair.  This sees the block of the Mall just south of the station closed off for a selection of stalls and other tat. In the past there were rides for kids and a range of entertainment, but these days it is mostly about the generic “craft” stalls that trudge from Glebe to Paddington to wherever markets each week.
