Summer sees visitors of all ages head to Tumbarumba, to join the weekend-long festival that is Tumbafest. The quiet park, just behind the main street, fills with smiling people. Sprawled under shady trees are market stalls featuring fresh local produce, wines, ciders and craft beers. Some kick back in the shade to enjoy the bands and musicians, others are dancing until their feet hurt.
