The Warrandyte Festival has been a staple of this country town since 1977!
Come to Warrandyte to celebrate this wonderful festival, which features a Billy Cart Derby, a Parade, live music, kids’ activities, and more.

The festival is all about family fun: concerts, waterslides, and whacky races. There is also a billy cart derby, kids’ market, battle of the bands, film feast, and so much more.
Free to all, the Warrandyte Festival attracts about 10,000 people on a fine weekend. With delicious food, incredible music and the enduring appeal of Warrandyte’s charm and community spirit, it’s not hard to see why!

Hello Organizers,
I am applying for a market stall site at the Warrandyte Festival. For many years I have had a stall each Warrandyte Community Market/ now Warrandyte Riverside Market. My goods have been received most enthusiastically and very much suit the Warrandyte community.
In my stall I have natural fiber, (including cotton, linen, silk and alpaca,) clothing and accessories. These items feature exciting and elegant fabrics and designs.
If possible I would like a double site. Could you please let me know if it is possible to have a site and how you would like payment to be made.
Thank you
Best regards
Elaine (Blueberry Laine)
