For opal enthusiasts and those just wishing to browse, Yowah’s annual opal festival will be held on the 18th-20th July. Enjoy the stalls on Friday, Saturday and Sunday with opals, jewellery and other goods in the local hall. And in true keeping with a festival, there will be live entertainment on the Friday and Saturday evenings, along with food stalls and a licensed bar throughout the three days. With  a professional chef at the YOMCSI bar you won’t be disappointed with the three course meals served on Friday and Saturday night, so look for The Hungry Miner, everyone raves about the food! The music for the festival will be provided by the very popular Kerry Kennedy and his band and the MC for the festival will be the resident poet, Bushy. There will also be a display of rare opal.
