Festival flags erected
Festival flags have been erected along West St, Umina, in preparation for the inaugural Umina Festival to be held on Saturday, December 12.
Designed by local artist Ms Emilia Knight, the flags were a gift to the Umina community, compliments of The Umina District Chamber of Commerce, according to chamber president Ms Sharon Martin.
"The Umina Festival is designed to bring the Umina community together as one to showcase our village and all it has to offer," Ms Martin said.
"We are proud of Umina and all that it has contributed to the development of the Central Coast over the years and we want to share that feeling with the broader community.
"There will be rides, stalls and a pie-eating competition.
"There are bands and performers, a beachwear parade, and an art show."
The festival will start at 10am in West St before finishing with an evening of Christmas Carols in the Umina Precinct Park featuring a 40-piece brass band and local artists.
