Armidale Autumn Festival 2024 impacted by weather

The planned Armidale Autumn Festival 2024 has been impacted by the weather, and will sadly not proceed in its full form.

We have explored every alternative. Unfortunately, given the number of stakeholders and moving parts, it has been impossible to devise a solution that ensured the whole event could run.

🛑 the PARADE IS CANCELLED.
🛑 the afternoon PARK STALLS AND ACTIVITIES ARE CANCELLED.

However...
🥞 'Breakfast with the Band' will proceed at 7am with a wet weather alternative, the Armidale City Band band room opposite Civic Park.
👟 'Armidale Campus to City Canter' will proceed as planned!
📣 Performances that were scheduled by New England Conservatorium to be on the stage in the park from 1.30pm till 5pm have been relocated to Armidale Town Hall. Please join us for some wonderful entertainment if you can!
