Last year's inaugural Festival was a great success attracting over 10 000 visitors to Campsie. Canterbury Councillor Ian Latham says the festival has rapidly become a major community and tourist event in Canterbury. "The CFMEU should be congratulated for the support that they have shown this year," Latham says The Festival this year will start at 10 am and go till 4 pm in Beamish St. There will be food and drinks for sale and free entertainment all day. Parking will be limited so visitors are advised to get the train to Campsie.
