April 6, 20179 yr Lithgow Ironfest is on again, late April as usual. This year the Ironfest weekend is 22nd and 23rd April 2017. Not just blacksmiths, it's a very diverse festival, and a lot of fun. I never miss it, but then again I do live here.
May 2, 20179 yr I don't know how long they will keep the pages operating, but the local newspaper (Lithgow Mercury) has a lot of pictures and some videos from the 2017 Ironfest . WARNING - next to no smithing content. http://www.lithgowmercury.com.au/story/4616494/ironfest-a-big-metal-hit-visitor-numbers-and-next-years-theme-gallery/?cs=5501 http://www.lithgowmercury.com.au/story/4614607/the-best-photos-and-videos-from-ironfest-day-2/?cs=5501 http://www.lithgowmercury.com.au/story/4613829/wear-your-helmet-otherwise-youre-dead-meet-the-knights-of-ironfest-video/?cs=5501 http://www.lithgowmercury.com.au/story/4619004/ironfest-young-gun-photographer-captures-top-moments-gallery/?cs=5501 18,000 through the gate this year Edited May 2, 20179 yr by Phil H Added another link.
