Leeton Shire Council has set down the dates for the event, which will be held on July 12, 13 and 14 next year. 

Marketing and cultural services co-ordinator Suesann Vos is looking forward to getting as many people in the community involved in the planning and preparations as possible. 

“The winter school holiday dates sit perfectly within the greater regions events calendar,” she said.

“Being a mid-year event, there is also increased opportunity to access state and federal government funding opportunities during the first few years of growth and development of the event.

“Like any successful event, hardworking and passionate volunteers will be essential to help make the festival a success.”

This will include getting involved right from the planning stages, educating the community about Leeton’s art deco heritage and event implementation.

A first meeting for interested festival volunteers will be held on Wednesday, July 4, from 5pm to 7pm at the Leeton library. 

Interested residents who would like to contribute in some way to the planning and preparation for the festival can also join the “Planning Leeton Art Deco Festival” Facebook group or contact Mrs Vos on suesannv@leeton.nsw.gov.au or 6953 0922.

From the first meeting an advisory committee will be formed to assist council with the co-ordination of the 2019 event.
