What's it all about then? The first Henry Lawson Festival of Arts was held in 1958 and it has continued every year since, organised by a committee of volunteers with assistance from local organisations in Grenfell and the Weddin Shire Council. During the history of the Festival, Grenfell has welcomed many distinguished guests. They have come to officially open the Festival, as judges, performers or recipients of awards. Among the many identities Grenfell has welcomed Henry Lawson’s daughter, Bertha in 1967 and his grand nephew Peter Lawson in 1985. Grenfell’s Henry Lawson Festival of Arts has done much to perpetuate the memory of one of Australia’s illustrious sons.
