The Merimbula Yarn Bombing event is a community effort as the street art has been knitted and crocheted by members of the Old School Museum, various local clubs and churches, the Merimbula Public School pupils and supporters from the ACT Poppy Café.
The first Yarn Bombing and Merimbula Festival was held in 2019 and planned for the next two years but COVID restrictions forced cancellations so August 2022 will be third time lucky.
The theme for the Festival is 'Know your Community', with activities in the museum grounds on Saturday, August 20 from 10am to 2pm.
