Now in its 16th year, the Taradale Mineral Springs Festival is confirmed for Sunday March 9 from 10am to 4pm.
Awarded Mount Alexander Shire Community Event of the year 2024, the festival is a major feature on the central Victorian calendar for the Labour Day long weekend.
The Mineral Springs Festival Committee is planning to make this year’s event another memorable day for local families and day trippers.
Attractions will include over 70 stalls offering a wide range of food, wine, craft beer, gin, whisky and kombucha.
There will be craft, jewellery, plants, clothes, a CFA display and activities, live music on stage all day, plus many children’s activities, face painting, the bubble fairy, storytelling and Captain Koala.
Committee president Matt Butta said the committee had worked for many months to assemble a great lineup of stallholders and entertainment for this year’s event.
“We have a raffle with over $8000 in prizes including a $5000 travel prize courtesy of Broadhurst Property, with tickets just $5 each,” he said.
Entry to the festival is $5, with free admission for children under 15. All proceeds go towards Taradale Volunteer Community Groups to assist with local projects.
