Big change for Spring in the Valley

I don’t think you could live in WA and not know about Spring in the Valley but the big news is this year’s event is getting a much-needed face lift. Instead of hordes of teenagers/twenty somethings descending on the valley by the bus load for one weekend of drinking and debauchery the festival will be spread out over a whole month.

Hopefully this move will help make the event more couple and family-friendly as the trouble-makers won’t all be in the one place at the one time (last year I saw four young men in a row urinating on a wall - blurggh!). Fingers crossed this new step will do the trick.

At the very least, it should also make it much easier to get in (venues often have to close their doors due to number restrictions) and to be able to go along to events, enjoy fantastic food and in general enjoy more of what the valley has to offer. Even better, October has five weekends in which to enjoy it.

As the event gets closer more info will be available online at www.springinthevalley2010.com.au
