Djerriwarrh Festival is back bigger and better

The City of Melton’s biggest family festival is back with a bang when Djerriwarrh Festival returns on Saturday, November 23, with its family-friendly vibes and jam-packed schedule.

Celebrations will kick off with the annual Djerriwarrh Festival Street Parade at 11.30am with floats and dances and costumes galore and continue until 9pm when, weather permitting, the festival concludes with a dazzling fireworks display.

From noon, High Street will spring into life with live music, market stalls, food trucks, and many more activities to keep the kids and the family entertained.

The world comes to Melton as the city’s multicultural communities showcase their traditional dance and music with a series of interactive and vibrant intercultural performances on the main stage.

Melton council chief executive Roslyn Wai said the festival is jam-packed with great things to see and do for the whole family.

“With a colourful street parade, loads of market stalls, food trucks, activities, and an exciting live music line-up it promises to be fun and entertaining,” she said.

“This is a great chance to plan to meet up with friends and family to create some new memories at this much-loved local festival.’’

Along High Street, Melton’s intercultural communities will be showcasing traditional dance, food, and music while the more adventurous can meet local wildlife and even a dingo over at the pet expo.

There will be roving performers, art installations, and lots more happening throughout the day including the new fit and informed zone where local businesses and sports clubs will showcase their wares.

Sustainability Village is the place to go to find tips and tricks on how you can make the world a more sustainable place for the future.

Don’t miss the market stalls where you are sure to find something special to take home.

There are also plenty of options to tempt the taste buds with more than 20 different vendors specialising in a variety of food and drinks.

The Superjesus will be the headline act on the main stage in a line-up that also features Bachelor Girl, Sara Berki, and Charlie Needs Braces.
