Coonabarabran and Coolah will host their very own street festivals after Warrumbungle Council received $150,000 under the NSW government's Open Streets Program.

Coona's Dalgarno Street is set to boom with music come the Bloomin' Birds SpringFest on September 21, while the Christmas Carnival and Parade will run throughout Coolah on December 7.

Warrumbungle Mayor Ambrose Doolan said streets will close to traffic and transform into "vibrant community hubs."

"This grant will allow us to host two vibrant community street festival events, transforming our towns into lively hubs that celebrate the region's natural wonders and community spirit," Warrumbungle Mayor, Ambrose Doolan said.

"We are excited to collaborate with local businesses, artists, music groups, community groups, and residents to develop a program for each festival that reflects the unique character of Coonabarabran and Coolah."

The festivals offer free entry as a condition of the grant, aimed at making local streets and centres more vibrant.

Coonabarabran's Clock Tower Motor Inn co-owner Guy Andrews welcomed the potential visitor influx from the festivals.

"It'd be a good idea," he said.

"It should be alright if they get a few people in town."

Warrumbungle was approved for the maximum funding amount on 14 June 2024.

The same month, Gilgandra Shire was allocated $125,000 for its 'Under the Gums + Goin' to Gil Weekend,' Lachlan Shire $93,000 for 'Condo Comes Alive.'

Coonamble and Bourke Shire Councils have also been approved for events.

John Graham, the NSW Minister for Roads, Arts, Music and the Night-Time Economy, Jobs and Tourism, said the grants help celebrate "the unique personality of each town."

“Too often our main streets are something we drive through, rather than drive to. Our streets are a critical part of our public and social infrastructure," he said.

"Great streets make great towns and centres and reflect the local community and culture."
