South American Element
Lively, rhythmic dance will feature this year at Young's Lambing Flat Chinese Festival to be held on March 30.
Four Latin American dancers will perform at the 2019 Lambing Flat Chinese Festival, bringing a vibrant South American element to this Young multicultural festival.
The loud music, fast footwork and swinging hips reflect a recently introduced element to the event; an annual guest nation attraction.
The group is fresh from five weeks of Samba training in Brazil.
Big Art Exhibition
Lambing Flat Chinese Festival Big Art Exhibition opens.
The 11th annual Lambing Flat Sculpture, Wood and Big Art Exhibition features at Young Town Hall.
The exhibition, presented by the Young Society of Artists, is a major festival drawcard and has support from artists and artisans from a wide area.
The exhibition will be on show from Wednesday through to Sunday.
