The historical society hopes to get community members involved in the project which it hopes will result in increased interest in the Old School Museum.
Society secretary Shirley Bazley said the project had started and will culminate in a two-week dressing of the museum grounds and street furniture in colourful and imaginative crocheted, knitted or woven art works.
"Main, Market and Beach Streets will be the feature areas and council has approved our DA for the event. On the three Saturdays of the festival there will be different programs at the museum with demonstrations of traditional crafts, cooking demonstrations, children orientated activities, music and food as well as the displays in the museum building," Ms Bazley said.
