Live music filled the air, providing a lively soundtrack to the night, while families enjoyed watching the steam demonstrations, a unique and fascinating display that drew much attention.
Children had a blast riding on toy John Deere tractors, a fun and interactive feature, while motor enthusiasts marvelled at the impressive display of motorbikes and cars provided by the Tailem Bend Auto Club.
Unfortunately, the highly anticipated thunderous fire-breathing drag cars, usually one of the highlights of the party, were canceled due to high winds, but this didn’t dampen the spirits of those in attendance.
A wide array of food trucks offered a variety of cuisine to satisfy all tastes, adding to the festive atmosphere.
More enjoying the Street Party were Harley Wilson; Jo and Kayce McGrath; Darren and Roy Drewett with Ben Hedge; Judy Hein; Gary Carts of Craigmore on guitar with Harley Wilson of Burra on drums; Kayce McGrath; Mower Racer Amanda Bishop; Kristy Persello and Jake Cazzolat; and Matthew Tyler.

The Tailem Bend street party continues to prove itself as a premier event for the town, showcasing the community’s spirit, resilience, and ability to come together and celebrate, even when the weather doesn’t fully cooperate.
