Surry Hills Festival - 10 April 2010

A Perfect Day for a Great Festival!

Surry Hills rocked in glorious sunshine with the 2010 Festival. Large crowds jammed Shannon Reserve and Ward Park and filled the footpaths and shops, cafes and bars in between! Great music and lively entertainment was enjoyed by everyone as they sat on the grass or strolled through the market stalls and yummy food outlets. Visitors to the Surry Hills Library and Community Centre enjoyed activities in the Library and upstairs in the Function Room. A good time was had by all in perfect, warm, conditions.
