We welcome anyone who wants to be a part of this fantastic festival!

Narrandera's John O'Brien Festival is made up of many people spruiking their talents to an appreciative audience whilst others put in many hours behind-the-scenes. It is the people that make the festival great, one that sticks in the minds of attendees long after the show is over. If you would like to help make the next festival great, see where you can participate...

 

You want to be a stallholder you say?!

 

Potential stallholders are welcome to apply to set up stalls in the main street on the Saturday and/or Sunday in the park. We are interested in food, arts, craft, wine, kid's stuff, pet supplies, books, music, cooking, clothes, gifts, flowers, pre-loved goods, garden supplies, jewellery...just about anything really!

Whatever you have to sell, we can find you a spot!

A discount applies if both days are chosen. Proof of public liability insurance is required.
