The
Wood, Wine and Roses Festival was first held in Heywood in 1993 and
has grown over the years to be an award winning event in the South
West of Victoria. The festival is action packed with a wide
variety of activities and events for the entire family to
enjoy. It is estimated that in 2011 a record breaking
12,000 visitors passed through the gates. This festival
is a must attend for the whole
family.
THE street parade is a popular visual
feast which officially launches the event. A large crowd eagerly
lines the main street to watch the long line of creative floats,
motorised vehicles, brass and pipe
bands.
Once
the parade concludes, crowds flock to the entrance gates and
the festival comes alive.
Inside the main arena, visitors are
tempted to a wide variety of food stalls offering everything
from hot chips to gourmet seafood followed by fresh
strawberries and pancakes.
Tables and chairs throughout the festival
area provide visitors with the opportunity to sit and eat while
they watch some of the activities.
More
than 100 market stalls display and sell a wide range of clothing,
jewellery, pottery, paintings, hats, bags, toys and much, much
more.
The
initial admission cost and wrist band allows festival patrons to
view most of the displays and entertainment
free.
