What's on in Tamworth on October 18-20: Fiesta La Peel leads the way

There's a massive amount of events over the next few days and the hardest thing is figuring out which ones you go to.

We've compiled a list of things to do this weekend to help you decide.

With exhibits of beautifully restored antique tractors, cars, trucks, motorbikes and stationary engines - plus some exciting events for children - this year's Dungowan Village Fair promises to be one for all the family.

The Village Fair will be held at the Dungowan Recreation Grounds with the official opening at 11am on Saturday before wrapping up on Sunday midday. There will also be Tractor Trek held on Friday starting at 10am.

The tractor trek starts at the Recreation Grounds and proceeds to Nundle for a lunch break, then returns via the scenic route to the Dungowan grounds.

The best firefighting teams from Australia and New Zealand will compete in Tamworth this weekend to see who is the best team in Australasia.

The event, which has attracted 600 people to town, started today and runs until Saturday.

30,000 litres of water is also being trucked in for the event.

Zone Commander Tom Cooper said the water would be recycled via a series of drains and a holding tank under the competition zone.

He estimated 10,000 litres will be used across 15 events and three days.

Anyone looking to check out the championships can head down to the Gipps Street Fields.

If catching some sporting action is more your thing, the 2019 Netball NSW Social Masters could be your go.

The masters is all about getting together with friends for some fun, good times, and a little bit of netball.

Held over Saturday and Sunday, the social function on Saturday night is a main feature and the weekend always turns out to be a memorable one.

This truly unique Tamworth event is on for the second year on Sunday, and organisers are hoping to see upwards of 200 people join them for a walk, run or stroll up Mount Flagstaff from the Oxley Lookout - a 4.8km round trip.

Once at the top, walkers will be treated to a massage, and a bacon and egg roll, with all proceeds going to the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service.

This year the event will kick-off with a yoga session at the look-out from 8am, and will also see the introduction of a schools and business challenge, with the organisation to have the most entrants in each category crowned champions, and awarded a framed photo of the group at the peak.

The annual Blackville Arts & Market Day is back this Sunday with unique, interesting and delightful artisan made wares, delicious gourmet food and treats, all sourced both locally and from afar.

From art to homewares, clothing, accessories, jewellery, there is something to keep you browsing for hours. There will be great lunch options to choose from, bar facilities and live entertainment throughout the afternoon.

For the kids there will be lots to entertain them, a jumping castle, face painting, sand art, lucky dips and lolly bags.

The markets run from 10am to 4pm at Blackville Public School.

This Saturday, Fitzroy Street will host the sixth Fiesta La Peel multicultural festival.

Now an established showcase of the city's migrant communities, the council said attendance is only bettered by one event: the country music festival.

Event organiser Carol Hughes said Tamworth's strong and prominent celebration of multiculturalism was a point of pride for the city.

"Thanks to organisations like Multicultural Tamworth, we now have 86 different nationalities who have made Tamworth home," she said.

"I think it says an awful lot for Tamworth and the way we have such an open-arms, welcoming policy for them to come here and call it home."

Fiesta La Peel is on Fitzroy Street this Saturday from 4pm - 8:30pm.
