Armidale residents can now start applying to have their stall or float entered into the Armidale 2012 Autumn Festival.

The application forms are available on the Armidale Dumaresq Council website and businesses and community groups are all invited to participate in this vibrant, community event.

Armidale’s Autumn Festival is always a lot of fun and it takes place at the start of autumn when we can celebrate our city’s vibrant autumn colours as well as our excellence in education, music, sport, retails and richness in cultures.

As part of this year’s Autumn Festival there will be a twilight festival, street markets and entertainment in the park on Friday, March 16.

There will also be a Fun Day on Saturday, March 17 where there will be a Pancake Breakfast with the Armidale City Band and the Campus to City canter. The famous Autumn Festival Parade will kick off from 12:30pm on the same day. There will also be more events taking place on Sunday March 18 and Monday March 19 as part of the Autumn Festival and for full details visit the Armidale Dumaresq Council website.

Hopefully we see heaps of people taking part in this year’s Autumn Festival because it really is a great event and it helps provide a rare opportunity to celebrate all of the wonderful things about the Armidale community.
