DESCRIPTION

Collection SummaryA selection of photos & records from the 1998 festivalDescription

The 1998 Granny Smith Festival was held on Saturday 17 October.

There were four stages for the day’s entertainment: Trelawney Street Stage, the Plaza Stage, a stage at the intersection of Progress Avenue and The Avenue and the Eastwood Oval stage.

Club and school bands provided entertainment with dancing displays by groups such as Encore Dancers, Power and Light Dance and the Homebush Dance Studio performing items from Grease.

The ‘non-stop’ entertainment on the days included a circus playground, children’s rides, market stalls, an animal farm, roving performers, food fair, and, of course, an apple baking competition.

The day concluded with a family concert which featured Grease Lightning and fireworks at Eastwood Oval
