Leura Blue Mountains Events
2010 Leura Village Fair, 2nd weekend in October... Photo Gallery

Leura in the Blue Mountains capitalises on its gardens, hence the tagline, "Leura, the Garden Village". Attractions in Leura and many of the events focus on the spectacular gardens, private and public. Very early in Leura's history, gardens were designed and planted in the style of English or European gardens. Gradually the early pioneers to the Blue Mountains found a way to recreate a little bit of "home" in a tiny yard or on magnificent acreage like Everglades.

So it is that the major events in Leura and the Blue Mountains are the Village Fair, the Leura Garden Festival and the January Shakespeare Festival with Sydney based Sport For Jove players. Everglades Gardens is the perfect background for Shakespeare-- be it comedy or high drama. And it is no coincidence that the flowering cherry trees, in the centre of The Mall and the wonderful gardens dotting the village, bloom from October through January.
