The 32nd Glenbrook Village Festival is on Saturday, November 8 from 9am to 3pm, so head to Glenbrook village to enjoy a day of live music and dance, market shopping, great food and lots of activities for the kids.
Festival organiser Sandra Morey said the annual fun-filled event celebrates the vibrancy of Glenbrook village during a wonderful time of the year and it has been warmly embraced by the town's residents and the broader Lower Mountains community over the years.
"I've been organising the festival since 2007 and seen it grow and what I think is most special about it is its sense of community and fun," she said.
"It is an open invitation for people to see all that Glenbrook village has to offer.
"What has probably changed the most about the festival in recent years is the boosted live entertainment program, featuring talented local singers and dancers and a great mix of musical styles.
"That's been the influence of Phil from local music school Phil Stormer Music who is in charge of the festival stage.
"There will be something for everyone and this year the seating around the main stage at Glenbrook Park will be more comfortable, with large umbrellas providing plenty of shade."
The festival will offer lots of rides and activities for the kids to enjoy, including a giant jumping castle, water roller ride, pony rides, face painting and roving entertainers in Glenbrook Park and in the village.
Kozi and Pinky, who have more than 17 years' experience entertaining children and the young at heart, will be present, thanks to the Caltex service station in Glenbrook. Keep an eye out for them in the park as they mix face painting and creative balloon making with their zany sense of humour.
Cosmo the Clown will also be in town. Now a spring festival regular, Cosmo always offers plenty of fun and magic. Let him entertain you with magic, comedy, music and dance and join in the antics of his fun-filled shows - perfect for the whole family.
For shopping fans there will be market stalls set up and down Ross and Park Streets all day, offering a huge variety of gift items, plus most clothing and gift shops in the village centre will be open.
If hunger strikes, explore the village's cafes, restaurants and bakeries or head to the Rotary-run barbecue stall or one of the many other food stalls offering cuisines from around the world.
Blue Mountains mayor Mark Greenhill will officially open the festival at 10.30am and the town crier will also be present to provide a warm welcome to everyone within earshot.
