“The tattoo has evolved to showcase military bands in exhibition format as well as paying homage to the Edinburgh Military Tattoo," Cr Hope said
"We are fortunate that four acclaimed bands - Governor Macquarie’s Memorial Pipe Band, Tamworth Pipe Band, City of Blacktown Pipe Band and Bellinger River District Pipe Band - will be performing, including the Massed Pipe Bands to complete the event.
“Additionally, Down Under the Kilt Dancers and Fireside Celts will entertain so, along with the markets, the jumping castle and the fireworks, there is a big program to enjoy,” he said.
Cr Hope said the event promised to be "a relaxed, entertaining, cultural and social experience".
The event is an initiative of the council, the Quirindi RSL Sub-branch and the Quirindi and District Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Tourism and the Liverpool Plains Shire Council.
