.
– Super Sunday Revised Program
Dear Warrandyte Festival community, It is with deep sadness that we have decided to cancel this Saturday’s festivities.
Why have we cancelled? As of 6.00pm on Thursday 16 March, the fire danger ratings for Saturday 18 March are too risky to proceed. In consultation with emergency services and Manningham Council, and with the information we have available to us right now, we feel this is the safest option. We also feel it is fairer for our stall holders, performers, schools and other participants to make the call’ sooner rather than later.
What is actually cancelled?
-
- Friday 17 March will go ahead as planned.
- Saturday 18 March is cancelled.
- Sunday 19 March will go ahead as planned. Stalls, events and performance times for Sunday may be extended. Stay tuned.

The Warrandyte Festival is held each March at Stiggants Reserve – a pocket of community parkland fringed by the Yarra River. Bright with artistic endeavours, it is a champion of “homegrown” and “hand made”. It remains refreshingly free from commercialism after more than 40 years.
The festival is all about family fun: concerts and camel rides, waterslides and whacky races. Other events include a billy cart derby, kids’ market, battle of the bands, a film feast, Rotary Art Show, and so much more. Free to all, Warrandyte Festival attracts about 10,000 people on a fine weekend. With scrumptious food, incredible music and the enduring appeal of Warrandyte’s charm and community spirit, it is not hard to see why!
Yarra Street open Saturday 18th March. YARRA STREET ROAD CLOSURE SATURDAY 18th MARCH from 10.30AM
Yarra St will be closed to traffic from approximately 10.30am until 12.00pm on Saturday 18th March 2023 for the Street Parade. Closed from the bridge roundabout to Harris Gully Rd roundabout. Please plan ahead.
Keep up to date by joining us on Facebook.
The Warrandyte Festival is a no smoking event across the entire Reserve, all weekend.
