A WEEK-long festival will give community groups a chance to show off.

Public meetings will be held next week to people to join the Crook and District Festival.

The event will start on June 26 and finish on July 2, the day of Crook Carnival.

The first public meeting is at Crook Cricket Club, at 10am, on Tuesday, and the second is at 7pm in the same venue, also on Tuesday.
