The partnership will bring an outdoor 3x3 set up to the region with a three-day event which will bring a festival of 3x3 action with pre-registered games and free for all participation with their three-point shoot outs, slam dunk contests and mini clinics.
The event will take place in the Visitors Information Centre Car Park and will feature as a main event at the Street Scapes Griffith.
"We are really excited to host CLB3x3 for the first time during Street Scapes this May," Tourism Manager, Mirella Guidolin said.
"After seeing the event grow so much in Wagga Wagga over the last few years, we can't wait to see how this event can help us build Sports Tourism in Griffith.
"We would love to see a variety of ages and abilities joining in over the weekend."
Players can register to compete in a range of competitions over the weekend from a Corporate Social Night held on Friday May 14 from 6pm onwards, (a great way to network and keep fit) or as an Opens division player on Saturday May 15 from 2pm onwards.
