Laidley Spring Festival turns virtual in 2020

Celebrate the coming of spring, in a virtual fashion, with this year's online Laidley Spring Festival.

Lockyer Valley Regional Council has been working with community groups to present a virtual Laidley Spring Festival from 10 to 12 September 2020 through the Laidley Spring Festival website and Facebook page.

Lockyer Valley Mayor Tanya Milligan said she was pleased the Festival could still go ahead virtually.

"We know that this has been a trying time for many in our community and we hope that we can bring a smile to their faces by celebrating this timeless tradition in a new way," she said.

"You will see some very familiar faces from our local community groups who will present online videos about their areas of expertise, and I'm positive you can even learn some new skills to ensure your garden excels throughout spring."

Virtual attendance will be free and accessible through the Laidley Spring Festival website and new Facebook page.

Mayor Milligan said the new Laidley Spring Festival Facebook page allowed a wider outreach for this year's online offerings.

"Not only can our locals jump online and take part virtually, but they can invite their friends from far and wide," she said.

"We will also utilise this page for future years to ensure the Laidley Spring Festival brand can continue to grow recognition and increase our tourism numbers visiting this key event in the Lockyer Valley."
