FETE

Fete

Village fĂȘtes are common in Britain, although their numbers are declining. These are usually outdoor shows held on village greens or recreation grounds with a variety of activities. They are organised by an ad hoc committee of volunteers from organisations like religious groups or residents' associations. In Australia, fĂȘtes are often held yearly by schools and sometimes churches to raise funds.
