Kilsyth Festival

The Kilsyth Festival is a family-friendly event that takes place for one day each October at the Elizabeth Bridge Reserve.

Formerly known as the Chelodina Festival, this free festival is open for all ages. There will be lots of delicious food plus market stalls for your Christmas shopping.

Organized by the Kilsyth Community Action Group and the Friends of Elizabeth Bridge Reserve, the festival seeks to engage the local community by creating an event filled with activities for all ages to enjoy outdoors. The festival also aims to promote sustainable activities and businesses from all over the Yarra Ranges, encouraging visitors to shop and eat locally.

The program of events features food trucks and barbecues, free performances and entertainment, drumming, dancing, and dog obedience demonstrations. Kids will enjoy looking for the Eastern Long Neck Turtle at the lakes of the reserve.

The Elizabeth Bridge Reserve is located at 50 Durham Road in Kilsyth, Victoria. Admission to the Kilsyth Festival is free for all ages.
