See the Winners section for results of the 2010 Weereewa Festival competitions.

Welcome to website for Weereewa A Festival of Lake George. The festival is held in autumn every two years to celebrate the unique landscape and spirit of the Weereewa Lake George region.

Our aim is to celebrate, conserve and share this awe-inspiring place through arts and community events. This may be an off-road bike ride, dance performance on the lake bed, a scientific forum on sustainable agriculture, a satirical cabaret at the bowling club, kite-making workshops for the very young, or a concert in the local church. We aim to be carbon neutral through several ventures, tree planting, using recycled materials, the Farmers’ Market and Weereewa on the Menu program, both celebrating the great local produce and wines of our area plus encouraging carbon free bike riding!

The Weereewa Festival in 2010 took place over a ten-day period from 18 March to 28 March 2010 and there were twenty-three events. The theme was Winds of Change. This was inspired by Weereewa’s new and potent landmarks, the imposing wind turbines of the Capital Wind Farm which are, in essence, symbols of the winds of change sweeping over our region. It was also a concept open to creative interpretation by all participants. This year events were held in and around Bungendore and Collector. This is our fifth festival and we welcomed visitors to an ever-expanding program of events to appeal to many different tastes.

This year we were very grateful to our major sponsor Infigen Energy, owner of the Capital wind farm, who is sponsoring the En Plein Air Weekend and the Weereewa Sculpture Prize and the Department of Investment and Industry who substantially supports our publicity.
