Gulgong's Centenary was a celebration weekend marking 100 years since the 1870 gold find that led to the creation of the town. The weekend included a street parade, performers and vintage vehicles. Several people were in period costume and there was a fully loaded wagon of wool with bullocks. There was also a performance in the ‘Opera House’ at night.
