Lane Cove Festival: September 2017
For 25 years, this Festival was known as the Cameraygal Festival and has been an opportunity for groups to raise their profile in the community, connect with new audiences and receive free publicity for Spring events. Now in its 26th year the festival is trialling a new name and revised duration. The Festival will be marketed as Lane Cove Festival and has been shortened to take place during the month of September to give the program more impact during the busy Spring period.
