The Thirlmere Festival of Steam is Australia's largest rail heritage festival!
With all the fun of a country fair, the Festival is a fantastic family day out featuring over 150 market stalls, loads of adrenalin pumping amusement rides for teens, interactive kids activities, an animal farm, train rides, face painting, roving entertainment, helicopter joy flights and a large display of vintage steam machinery, classic cars and hot rods!
My son has gone crazy of these steam engine. To ride one and visit the museum is $55 for 2 Adults and 2 Kids. The steam engine ride was relaxing and eye opening. The Steam Engine moved slowly passed through the residents backyard amd the neighood waved us.
At 1pm, the village comes alive with the event’s official Street Parade. Featuring bands, floats, performers, classic vehicles and emergency services – the parade always attracts non-stop cheers and waves as it travels around each of our festival streets.
We were hungry after that and we grabbed the carnival food and head to the ever popular live Entertainment Stage. ‘Music In The Park‘ runs from 9.30am – 4pm and features a brilliant line-up of bands, solo artists and outstanding local acts.
My husband loved the carnival good expecially the mojito prawn roll with salad $12. They are from Wollonging, two days at Chatswood and today they are at Thirlmere!
At the end of the day, the kids grabbed two goodies bags of their favourite.
The 2014 Thirlmere Festival of Steam offers something for everyone!
