On Saturday, 18 October, Jamieson came together by the river for a wonderful afternoon celebrating the incredible volunteers who made the 2025 Jamieson Autumn Festival such a success. Set against Jamieson’s rolling hills and bathed in sunshine, the volunteer thank you event was filled with music from 2 Easy Duo, laughter, and community spirit. Around 60 volunteers gathered to enjoy the relaxed riverside atmosphere, and delicious dinner of smoked beef and chicken burgers, fresh fruit, and homemade cake. With a population of just 382, the turnout was a true reflection of Jamieson’s remarkable community heart. The event brought together long-time residents and new faces, many keen to get involved in future festivals. The Jamieson Autumn Festival simply wouldn’t be possible without its volunteers — from planning and decorating to setting up stalls, assisting visitors, and running community games such as the ever-popular Cow Poo Lotto and Gold Nugget Throw. Their dedication and enthusiasm are the heartbeat of the festival. The celebration was proudly funded by the Social Inclusion Action Group (SIAG) and served as a wonderful reminder of the power of community coming together. Excitement is already building for the next Jamieson Autumn Festival, set for 18–19 April 2026 — see you there!
