Crowds gathered for a jam packed day of live entertainment, market stalls and activities in a move to raise money for struggling drought-stricken farmers.

The funds raised are now set to be donated to farmers in Louth NSW.

Debbie Smith, one of the event organisers, said the funds raised for just one day were a great effort.

"We didn't think we'd get that much, we thought maybe $5000 but this is amazing," she said.

She also said the funds were offered to local farmers to begin with, but they insisted the money was needed elsewhere.

"We asked locally first but they said no thank you and they were okay, they advised us that the farmers in Louth needed it more because it was more severe up their way," she said.

Event organisers Lyn Cook, Sharron Bowman and Leanne Fitzgerald will head to Louth on Wednesday, February 27 to present a cheque to the Louth Chamber of Commerce, from which farmers can apply for money.

"We had to go through a charity and we went through the Lions Club because they are a local charity and they've been so supportive, they will write out the check to Louth," Ms Smith said.

Ms Smith also said she was satisfied to know the money would go to those who needed it most.

"You hear stories, but we've gone through a genuine charity who were happy to help," she said.

Lithgow Lions Club secretary Bill Neubeck said the Lions were happy to go a long and support a worthy cause.

"We are very happy with the funds raised and happy to support an organisation who are doing the right thing," he said.

Ms Smith also wanted to take the opportunity to thank everyone for their support of the Farmers Relief concert.

"Wang is community-minded and we all thought we should do something for farmers struggling in the drought and we did because it's awful out there and to have nothing," she said.

She also wanted to thank volunteers on the day, artists who performed and those who donated.

"We received various donations from business houses, companies and stall holders on the day, and because we had so many we want to say thank you," she said.

Ms Smith said overall the day went well and everyone had a good time.

"There were plenty of children and families, artists performed for free from nine in the morning to 10 at night, the weather was good and we partied into the night," she said.
