Get yourself to Katoomba on the 19th of June, because the wonderful will be taking place.

This annual celebration, which is timed to coincide with the winter solstice, is the Blue Mountains' biggest event, and is full of colour and creativity.

The program for 2010 will be typically busy. The highlight will be the Grand Parade, which will be merrily making its way down Katoomba Street at 11.30am. And make sure to stay for the Closing Ceremony at 6pm, whose music and fireworks will mark a wonderful introduction to the night's festivities.

In between, there will be plenty of things to do. You can pop into the famous Paragon Cafe, which will be hosting a Short Film Festival, take part in a drumming workshop at Katoomba Public School, or bring the kids to the story telling at the library.

If art is your thing, a Tanya Loviz exhibition will be taking place, while the centre of town will be taken over by Art Street, in which artworks will be prominently displayed in shop windows.

Plus, seven stages will be providing visitors with live entertainment, ranging from a ukulele troupe and a children's science show to belly dancing and an eclectic array of music.

Finally, festival fun can be combined with steam train travel. You can ride from Sydney to Katoomba on the Blue Mountains Flyer, or hop aboard the Winter Magic Steam Train when you arrive, and enjoy a round trip through the mountains.
