To commemorate his birth and his contribution to the arts, Grenfell hosts the annual Henry Lawson Festival on the June long weekend. Grenfell as the birthplace of Henry Lawson. The town celebrates Lawson with an exciting program that includes art competitions and exhibitions; a static street parade, carnival and street stalls, buskers, and special events throughout the weekend.

What a beautiful moment for Bridie, who proudly represented the Grenfell Lions Club in this yearโ€™s Festival Queen competition.

Bridie has carried herself with such warmth, grace and community spirit throughout the festival, and we could not be more thrilled to see her crowned our 2026 Festival Queen.

Pictured here with Henry Lawson Festival VIP Mary Moffitt, this is one of those special festival memories we will treasure.

Congratulations Bridie.
Grenfell is so proud of you. โค๏ธ
