FESTIVALS & EVENTS
Dindi Daze
Dindi Daze, now in its second year, is a fun-filled, family-focused celebration of everything that makes Murrindindi great. Held in Rotary Park, this year’s event builds on the success of its inaugural year and has evolved to place even greater emphasis on families and community members.
The day will feature a range of children’s activities, including free face painting, games, and competitions. A highlight will be the mobile animal farm, where children will have the opportunity to pat, feed, and hold the animals.
Local performers will provide entertainment throughout the event, creating a lively and inclusive atmosphere. Visitors can enjoy food, local craft beers, wines, and spirits, as well as arts and crafts stalls, an historic vehicle display, and even steam train rides.
A range of community-based stalls focused on mental health, healthy ageing, and support for victims of family violence, further strengthening Dindi Daze’s and Rotary’s commitment to community wellbeing.
The focus of Dindi Daze is to bring the Murrindindi community together to celebrate everything that makes our region special and, of course, to have some fun. The event also aims to attract visitors and tourists, providing an opportunity to showcase local talent, including our region’s musicians, art, crafts, food, wine, and beer.
Eildon Twilight Serenade
Eildon Twilight Serenade, formerly Opera at Eildon, returns for a magical Valentine’s evening.
The banks of the Eildon Pondage will once again come alive with music and community spirit as the newly named Eildon Twilight Serenade returns.
Gates open at 5:00 PM, with a preshow at 5:30 PM. Guests can enjoy a variety of food and drinks available for purchase, pre ordering preferred and highly recommended. They are thrilled to introduce something a little different for the preshow. The Sarezian Woodwind Quartet with Melissa Knowles on the clarinet, Carol Galea on the flute, Tania Berezin on the oboe and
Jenny Ottosson on the bassoon.
This year’s format offers something for everyone: the first half features operatic highlights, followed by a second half of popular musical favourites. They welcome back Kathryn Radcliffe (Soprano) and Phoebe Briggs (Keyboard), along with Stephen Marsh (Baritone), returning from Berlin. Joining them is James Egglestone (Tenor), making his Eildon debut.
With such exceptional talent, the evening promises to be unforgettable. To make it even more special, guests will have the opportunity to meet and greet the artists after the show.
