Join Beachmere in Birthday Celebrations over TWO big weekends.
Beachmere celebrated its 150th Birthday in May 2020 and Beachmere Area Network Group’s Sesquicentenary Committee was busy organising events and activities to fill a fun weekend.
Covid restrictions meant a change of plans, and the celebrations and festivities have been postponed until May 2021.
Nearly three years in the planning, it has been rebranded as the Back to Beachmere Celebrations and the program is now being held over two weekends and includes:
-
Gala Opening and launch of Beachmere Then and Now Exhibition
-
High Tea
-
Free Festival in the Park
-
Bush Dance for all the family (Sorry - Still postponed due to Covid restrictions)
-
“Wrap” Party with raffle draws & Silent Auction
-
Sandgarden Photographic Competition.
Tickets for events will be available from April from this site or from BANG and the Hub by appt.
You can still order the book "Beachmere Then and Now" and all the merchandise through our website or email. Order forms are also available around town and from the Beachmere Hub in Main Street.
Keep your eye out for posters and signs around town and for more information in your letterbox, on facebook and in local stores for all the information and updates about the Back to Beachmere Celebrations
