It’s Festival time in the Marsh!

Bacchus Marsh celebrates the start of the summer fruit season with one of the town’s biggest weekends of the year, as the Bacchus Marsh Strawberry & Cherry Festival returns across three days in November.

The festival begins on Friday evening at the Village Green, with food trucks, entertainment and carnival rides. Then across Saturday and Sunday, the celebrations spread through the centre of town with street markets, live entertainment, carnival attractions, food, local produce and family activities.

This year, the Border Inn Street Market and Graham Street entertainment area will form part of the festival precinct, while a second Strawberry Hub between the Courthouse Hotel and Revenant Tattoo will put the fruit firmly back in the spotlight.

Check out the full program at our Festival page
