Hawkesbury City Eisteddfod

The Hawkesbury City Eisteddfod was founded in 1952 and has been a steady presence in the arts community ever since. It has grown to become a significant event with approximately 7000 performers aged from 5-99 yrs participating each year.

Held annually from July to September, the Hawkesbury City Eisteddfod enables young performers to gain confidence and experience in a friendly atmosphere, taking home a written critique from an expert in the field.

The categories include Vocal, Pianoforte, Instrumental, Speech, Dance, Dance Troupes, and School & Community events.  School events are well supported by Bands/Ensembles, Dance groups, Choral, and Verse Speaking Choirs.

The venue is the Windsor Function Centre.

We are grateful to the many sponsors, in particular the Hawkesbury City Council who generously support the eisteddfod by subsidising the venue.
