The first eisteddfod was held in November 1953 and ran for three days.
The eisteddfod has been held every year since then ( except for COVID) and has grown to over three weeks with thousands of competitors who come from all over the state - and a few from interstate, making it the biggest event held in Cowra each year.
Your support is needed to continue this great legacy, so please come along and join the committee to prepare for the 70th annual eisteddfod to be held in May/June 2024.
