FESTIVALS & EVENTS
Eildon Easter Twilight Market
The Eildon Easter Twilight Market hosts a great variety of local food and beverage trucks, as well as local producers with a wide array of goods to try or buy. This will showcase the abundance of quality local artisans, artists and creators. There will be live music showcasing local youth and artists.
The afternoon starts with their youth lineup from Paul Ray Music Group. Followed by the sensational Herberts – not to be missed.
There will be many extra family-friendly activities. An Easter bonnet parade will be lots of fun for all ages. There are prizes for the best creations. Make it at home, or create it on site at the Easter bonnet stall. Free Easter Eggs will be given out.
Bring along your picnic blanket or chairs and relax, enjoy great music, food and drinks on the beautiful banks of the Eildon Pondage. A great family day out, all for a gold coin donation. This is a pet friendly event and dogs must be on a lead at all times.
A Growling Grass Frog and a Crackle of Cockatoos
Hop into the Yea Wetlands these school holidays for some frog and cockatoo stories and activities.
With its bushland setting and frog lagoons the Yea Wetlands is an ideal place for learning about frogs and cockatoos. Sitting in the Yea Wetlands Discovery Centre story circle, a fun experience in itself, children will be delighted by the story of Litoria and her Wetland friends read to them by the author, Teisha Sloane-Lay, and the illustrator Katie Howard, or the story of Carl the Cockatoo and the Magic Seed Bell read to them by the author and illustrator, and local volunteer at the Yea Wetlands, Chris Brennan. Following the reading, children will participate in some frog activities or cockatoo-themed activities.
Children can learn about Litoria and the frog-themed activities on the Wednesday, and engage in cockatoo fun on Friday. Holiday activities at Yea Wetlands are popular so jump right in and book your spot now.
