THIS year’s annual Queanbeyan Australia Day celebrations will be severely limited due to restrictions from the ongoing COVID-19 situation.
The usual food stalls, live music and fireworks that guests enjoy have all unfortunately been cancelled this year due to restrictions.
“It’s disappointing that we won’t get to have such entertainment, but the ceremonies around the region will still be taking place as per usual,” said Queanbeyan Palerang Regional Council (QPRC) Mayor Tim Overall.
“There will be celebrations happening throughout the day in Bungendore, Braidwood, Captain’s Flat and Queanbeyan.”
The Queanbeyan event held around the Brad Haddin Oval in the Town Park is known for its major popularity. Normally it attracts about 7000 guests every year and concludes with the much adored fireworks show.
