Oberon and Villages Simple Pleasures Summer Festival

12 February 2010 - 18 April 2010

The lifestyle and treasures of village life are often not apparent to outsiders and need a local to help you discover them.
The Oberon and Villages Summer Festival is a chance for visitors to rediscover these simple pleasures, sharing the lifestyle, history, culture, produce, secrets, stories and hospitality of the Oberon Circle of Villages, a part of The Tablelands Way experience.
Summer in the high country is the season of bounty. Fruits are in season, trout are in the streams, mushrooms in the forests and adventure is in the air. Village life brings its own flavour to summer, with the pleasures of the home made and home grown.

Oberon & Villages community events are usually different, always interesting and definitely worth checking out. 'Bands in The Common' is shaping up to be a feature event of the Festival.
The Common is a public park, which is being developed by Oberon Council with input from community groups and assistance from State and Commonwealth Government grants. Recent development includes an adventure playground, community wall and toilet block.
A community BBQ and official opening with live music featuring
CHRIS CALLAGHAN - Oberon's original Singing Policeman!!!! - a real
'Countryman', now a successful singer/writer of songs which reveal his
true love of Australia. Juggling his time between performances in
Tamworth, Alice Springs and overseas, he has managed to squeeze in
Oberon to join us at The Oberon Common where he will perform with
another great local band GREYWATER - regular performers in Bathurst,
appearing at both the Burraga and Oberon Shows recently and now joining
us all at The Oberon Common this Friday 5th March to play their classic
rock at its best.....
