Berridale Spring Fair

The Berridale Spring Fair provides a diverse program including Clydesdale horse exhibits and various carnival games for children. The event showcases regional talent through art displays by local figures such as painter Michelle Lindau and ceramicist Lee Gleisner. It is one of several annual activities managed by the Berridale Lions Club to foster community engagement and support regional development.

A key component of the fair is the involvement of local service providers, such as the Berridale Rural Fire Service and the SES, who exhibit their equipment and share safety expertise with attendees. The fair also features numerous market stalls where visitors can find seasonal items and Lions Christmas cakes, with proceeds funding regional projects like maternity equipment for Cooma Hospital.

The event is coordinated with assistance from the Snowy Monaro Regional Council and serves as a fundraising platform for both local health services and national humanitarian research. It offers a festive atmosphere through catering, raffles, and public activities intended to revitalize the local economy following the winter months.
