So the Beaufort St Festival is dead. 'A victim of its own success' said the press.... I got to agree, it was painful to go down to the festival in recent years with two young kids, it was more like jumping into a river and letting the current take you and spit you out at the bottom. Lost that community 'local' feel. Dont fear - the good people of L.A.C.E. have ramped up the Maylands Street Festival on May 1st 2016 to be just that. There are so many good retailers and operators in Maylands now and i hear on the grapevine Henry on Eighth will be firing up the coffee machine for the first time also. Put it in your calendar and leave your kayak at home.
