The Warrandyte Festival is held at Stiggants Reserve – a pocket of community parkland fringed by the Yarra River. Bright with artistic endeavours, it is a champion of “homegrown” and “hand made”. It remains refreshingly free from commercialism after more than 40 years.
The festival is all about family fun: concerts, waterslides and whacky races. A billy cart derby, kids’ market, battle of the bands, film feast and so much more.
Free to all, Warrandyte Festival attracts about 10,000 people on a fine weekend. With scrumptious food, incredible music and the enduring appeal of Warrandyte’s charm and community spirit, it’s not hard to see why!
