There will also be musical entertainment from folk bandThe Northern Folk and piano group the Solstice Trio as well as a performance from James Fallon High School Wiradjuri Dance Troupe.

Dress warm and gather together at this free event to support people affected by suicide.

A new attraction in Albury is the city’s first brewery, Albury Brewhouse on Dean Street, which opened in March this year.

Visitors to the Brewhouse are spoiled for choice with a range of six craft beers brewed on site by head brewer Banjo Hillier, as well as other varieties on tap and in bottles.

The team at the Brewhouse can even help you pair your brew with items from the modern pub cuisine menu including share plates, mains and desserts.

Brewhouse is open seven days a week from 11am.  

There’s also plenty of musicians and bands performing in Albury in June that will make for a great time out.
