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.
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 handmade 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 2027 theme is Autumn.
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.
