Art exhibitions display talent from local artists young and old using a variety of mediums and the 50-mile meal showcases local produce in a diverse way over a five-course degustation.
A colour run through the pine forest that surrounds Coleambally is always a hit with both locals and visitors providing lots of laughs.
