The Fair - sadly, the fair part of the event won't be held in 2025 due insufficient volunteers
A True Village Fair
The town of Evandale bands together each year to combine market stalls and a variety of entertainment in the streets and parks surrounding a race circuit for the National Penny Farthing Championships, creating the ambience of a colonial country fair.
