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.
Murrindindi Beanie and Fibre Festival
The Murrindindi Beanie and Fibre Festival is a community event, a feast of fibre art, fabulous beanies, winter warmers and more. Expanding to become the Fibre Festival of the North East, the event features an arts precinct full of both indoor and outdoor market stalls, yummy treats, pre booked workshops, quilt displays and fibre art, sculptures in the park and all within an easy and picturesque walk amoung the Autumn leaves.
The town of Alexandra comes alive with all things beanie, as lamp posts, shops and businesses take up the fibre festival challenge. Beanies and winter warmers of all shapes and sizes are donated, displayed and available to purchase. You can even bid for your favourite creation if you can’t make it in person. Check out the website to see last year’s creations.
Anyone can create and donate a beautiful beanie, beginners and children are encouraged to enter. The ‘Beanie Kids Recycled Creations’ category can be made of any material. The 2025 theme is ‘The world in black and white’.
For further information on how you can enter and donate a beanie or two, category details, conditions and entry forms, look for the Festival brochure on the website or visit the Facebook page. Proceeds from the sale of the beanies go towards local charities within the community of Murrindindi.
