Gemfest - `Festival of Gems` is the
annual festival that celebrates and showcases sapphires and where they
come from, the Gemfields. Just 40 minutes drive from Emerald and at one
time the largest sapphire fields in the world, the Gemfields comprises
the towns of Anakie, Sapphire, Rubyvale and the Willows.
In what began as a small festival with just a few traders in 1988 with
the celebration of the Australian Bicentenary, the festival today has
over 150 traders, miners and merchants and is visited by over 4,000
people. Visitors come from as far away as Perth just to visit and share
the excitement and marvel at the gems on display. 2009 marks Gemfest`s
22nd Anniversary and promises to be bigger than ever featuring an
amazing combination of activities, exhibitions, entertainment, prizes
and demonstrations to keep you busy.
