19.01.2022 Good news, the 2021 Crookwell Potato Festival will be going ahead but not as we know it!. We are working on a range of smaller events during April with the aim of celebrating local agriculture and the potato industry in particular. We will have a strong focus on providing activities for the kids during the school holidays and will post details as soon as the mini-events are locked in. We are still planning on having a great time but in a manageable, COVID Safe way, that works within the restrictions and protects our local community.
