Stringybark Festival

The Stringybark Festival is a sustainability festival held at the Rowville Community Centre in October each year.

This festival is all about empowering the local community to live sustainably with information and guidance on how to achieve practical change.

You will find plenty of stalls and activities at the festival and entertainment. There will be three live stages with professional bands, school groups, community groups, and indigenous groups entertaining the crowds throughout the festival.

Stringybark Festival has free activities for the whole family, including home-made, homegrown and nature play activities, gardening and sustainability workshops, stage performances from local and regional acts, a makers market with handmade and environmental products, cooking demonstrations on the backyard tucker stage, outdoor games, amusements, and children’s activities.

There will also be installations aimed at educating users about rubbish and recycling as well as new and upcoming inventions to develop sustainable living practices further.

This is a family-friendly, alcohol and drug-free event. Please leave your dog at home; however, guide dogs and companion animals are welcome.

To get to this fantastic community event, you can drive to the Rowville Community Centre, where there is car parking on Fulham Road.
