2017 Junee Rhythm n Rail Festival Memories

Posted on by Rhythm n Rail

The 2017 Junee Rhythm n Rail Festival saw our inaugural Street Parade; the auctioning of a cubby house to raise funds for a charity; plenty of fun in Memorial Park with Market Stalls and live events on the main stage; an assortment of live music at various venues around town; all sorts of different Train rides and even some spotting of trains — large and small.

Share some our memories through the images below.
