WINTER SOLSTICE CELEBRATION
Friday 21 to Sunday 23 June 2024

This year we will celebrate the Winter Solstice with a variety of creative and performing art events held over the weekend. The celebration is free and mostly indoors with local performers performing in local venues. We all love the parade and stalls but safely closing the street needs a big volunteer team and a big budget which we don’t have this year. Bring on the magic with your creative mountains made costumes this year too! Check out the Events tab for lots more info on WM events and other Katoomba happenings too.
