RHODO DAY
Saturday 2 November 2019
DOWNLOAD A 2019 RHODO FESTIVAL PARADE REGISTRATION FORM - PDF version or Word version.
Rhodo Day is packed with entertainment, music, stalls, rides and fun galore. Sections of Govetts Leap Road and Gardiner Crescent close and transform into a music stage and food stall alley.
The Festival Princess or Prince will be crowned in Govetts Leap Road shortly after 10am, just in time for her or him to hotfoot it to the public school to start the parade.
The Grand Parade kicks off at 11.30am and winds its way along Wentworth Street from Blackheath Public School to Hat Hill Road.
Everyone from pre-schoolers to primary students, theatre groups, scouts, dog walkers, dance teams, footy clubs and more dress up and parade through town to the cheers and delight of hundreds of onlookers.
Want to be part of the parade? Watch this space – we'll be taking registrations a little later in the year.
After the parade there’s plenty to see and do:
– marvel at the woodchoppers chopping wood at the wood chopping competition hosted by The New Ivanhoe Hotel
– cheer on the roof bolters and coal shovelers in competition at The Gardners Inn (a nod to the coal-mining history of the Central West of NSW)
– be dazzled by shop window displays
– enjoy music at Blackheath Uniting Church
– see the Combined Festival of Flowers at St. Aidan’s Anglican Church on the highway.
There's also music all day on the Govetts Leap Road stage and sausage sizzles everywhere you turn! And don’t forget the Art Show in Blackheath Community Hall – celebrating 51 fabulous years in 2019.
