STALLS, cars and events will be back in Brooke Street in November after the town’s development and tourism committee secured funds to meet street closure costs for Inglewood Alive.
The committee last year had a bill of more than $5000 to close Brooke Street for the one-day festival and had been planning 2025 activities around the town hall precinct.
But committee treasurer Pauline Wellman last week confirmed the group had been able to raise funds “and that means we’ll be back in Brooke Street where every Inglewood Alive has been staged”.
“We attract thousands of people to Inglewood - it’s our biggest day of the year - and we’re so glad that the event can again been staged in Brooke Street. People love weaving between the stalls and activities flanked by our wonderful historic buildings.”
The festival sub-committee this week started announcing the entertainment line-up that will include Midnight Blue Blues Band (MB3), a six-piece swing/jump Blues outfit and The Groove Dudes.
Mrs Wellman said the sub-committee was still calling for volunteers to assist with staging the festival.
