Lugarno Lions Community Fair 2023

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley)

—Speaker, I rise to congratulate the Lugarno Lions, who are set to smash attendance records again this year at their annual Lugarno Lions Community Fair. Whilst it's been a difficult few years for the event, including issues with cancellations and postponements, our community is so excited to see that this flagship event has returned for 2023. The Community Fair is always a sure sign that spring has sprung, with many in my community cherishing fond memories of the event. The event began in 1979 and has morphed into one of the largest carnivals in South Western Sydney, second to only the Sydney Royal Easter Show. There will be so much for families to do this year, including over 100 stalls, two stages of free entertainment, a classic‑car show, and over 25 rides and attractions, including the brand-new 40 metre tall 'Space Jam', providing unparalleled views over the local area. I'd like to thank President of the Lugarno Lions, Mike Butler, alongside the entire committee behind the Lugarno Lions Community Festival for their hard work. I encourage all locals to check out the community fair on Sunday 24th September.
