We are looking forward to welcoming you to Northam for The Elevate Festival tomorrow - Saturday May 6th at 5pm @ Henry Street Oval.
We have over twenty food trucks, hostess-with-the-absolute-mostess the Famous Sharron, live music from Remi Mura and Refractory Road, glow themed amusement rides and activities, roving entertainment, showbags and a chance to meet the pilots.
As you are aware the Night Glow component of the Festival is very dependant on weather conditions which can only be determined on the day of the event. Conditions may mean that the full Glow may need to be altered if it is too wet or wind speed is too high.
We look forward to celebrating the beginning of the National Hot Air Ballooning Championships with you.
