The world-renowned Jacaranda Festival is held yearly in Grafton, Northern Rivers New South Wales, from the last weekend in October to the first weekend in November.

In 2011 the festival officially starts with the Jacaranda Ball on Friday, October 21st and concludes on Sunday, 6th November.

Inaugurated in 1934, this was the first of Australia's folk festivals and is based upon the magnificent spectacle of the hundreds of lilac-blossomed trees which grow in Grafton's broad tree lined avenues.

It expresses the people's thanksgiving for the generosity with which nature blesses this part of the globe.

The official programs for the Jacaranda Festival and for the Queen Crowning Ceremony will be available in the Tuesday, 25th October edition of The Daily Examiner.
