In full swing, Saturday’s street party between 10am and 2pm, will be taking on a new look with buskers along Church St and Word Weavers reading poetry for your enjoyment. And they haven’t forgotten the kids, there’ll also be an animal farm. Local shops will be trading as normal, so pop in and say hi to show your support.

Twilight Night at Walker Reserve is the finale of the festival and the main event. With a great line up of Aussie country music, rides in carnival corner, food stalls and more, it’s a family event not to be missed. So, pack a picnic or purchase some delicious food from one of the local food stall holders, bring a rug and chair and make yourself comfortable for a night of entertainment. It’s all about the atmosphere and we have a wonderful night planned. Don’t forget about the fireworks (weather permitting), later in the evening for a spectacular showcase.

So, come out to Whittlesea “Country” and enjoy all our festival has to offer.
