Those who have been to an Avalon Public School Annual Fair will know organisers go all out to provide a great day of entertainment, with heaps of activities for youngsters, great food, nice music and great fun.
This year Avalon on the Green will be a family friendly, creative arts festival where everyone is welcome. Live music, performance artists, scrumptious food and wine, games and fun on offer - and all this will be held on the green green hills of Avalon Golf Course.
Mel Moss, Festival Organiser, explained this week, "As the event is in its first year attendees need to buy a ticket to come to the event - there's only 2000 spots available and the ticket price includes a refillable take home cup or stubbie cooler, a drink and all the entertainment.
These are limited edition items and once they're all gone, that's it. There will be opportunities to purchase our beakers and coolers at the merchandise tent so please don’t worry that you will miss out, but you will have to be there to get one."
"This is the big Avalon Public School Fundraiser for 2019 so we're hoping everyone will come out and enjoy a great day at Avalon on the Green."

We would like to invite our greater Avalon community to join in the fun and purchase tickets. This means any school families who haven’t already got their tickets need to do so ASAP. Please ensure you include your kids, they are free but we need to know numbers so we don’t go above our allocated places on the Green, as well as and yourself - even if you’re helping out on the day we all need a ticket!
You can go in anytime over the next few weeks and pre-purchase food and we encourage you to. It will make your experience on the day all the more relaxing as you skip past the lines. It helps us cater correctly and ensure zero waste or money spent unnecessarily.
