Whitehorse Spring Festival - Our Backyard, Nunawading

Join in on all the fun as we celebrate the Whitehorse Spring Festival. This is the first big festival event for the Whitehorse 2022 – 2023 Festival Season and the community is so thrilled it will be returning this year at a brand new location - Tunstall Park and Nunawading Community Hub.

Save the date for Sunday 23 October, 10am – 4pm for a FREE, fun-filled day for all ages! There will be an exciting mix of live music and dancing on the performance stages – including circus inspired entertainment, as well as a variety of stalls presented by our wonderful community. PLUS there will be FREE rides, face painting, reptile encounters and delicious food!

This year’s Spring Festival theme of “Our Backyard” celebrates the community coming together and enjoying the collective backyard we share in Whitehorse!

Mamma has had a sneak peek of the program and picked out some of the highlights

  • Trapeze – Fly Factory: The Fly Factory is back with their popular trapeze show.

    Dreaming Space: Head to the big, red circus tent and enter a world of colour, laughter, exploration, and entertainment.

    Reptile Encounters: Get up close and personal with some of Australia’s reptile friends.

    Youth Area at Spring Fest!: Whitehorse Youth Services will present a range of activities for young people including music on the FReeZA stage and the youth marquee filled with interactive activities and information.

    Doug the Gardener: Meet Doug the Gardener, a man of the land who is outstanding in his field, and your MC for Spring Festival 2022. Doug may look like a regular Council worker but at Spring Festival he will be demonstrating a range of special talents. These include garden tool juggling, flower pot percussion, riding his unicycle tractor, and even balancing a wheel barrow on his chin!
