The City of Melton’s biggest and best family festival is just around the corner.
Djerriwarrh Festival is back with a bang on November 11 – and while it might be in a new
location, it retains its family-friendly vibes and jam-packed schedule.
High Street Melton will come to life with live music, market stalls, food trucks and tonnes of
activities to keep the kids and the family entertained.
Celebrations kick off this year with the annual Djerriwarrh Festival Street Parade at the slightly
later time of 11.30am and run until 9pm when, weather permitting, the festival concludes with a
dazzling fireworks display.
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.
Pet Expo is back and is the perfect place to learn about local wildlife, meet a dingo and make
some furry friends, while the Get Active Expo will help you find a new hobby and show you
plenty of ways to get active and enjoy the summer sunshine.
The opening hours for the popular market stalls have been extended this year and will now be
open till 9pm – and with more than 80 stalls to visit, you’ll need the extra time.
From unique handmade items to homewares and kids clothing, everyone is sure to find
something special to take home.
There’s also plenty of options to tempt the tastebuds. With more than 20 different vendors
specialising in a variety of food and drinks, visitors are in for a gastronomic treat.
Iconic Australian band Regurgitator will be the headline act on the main stage in a line-up that
will feature Pseudo Echo, FOOLS, Jess Hitchcock and Lotte Gallagher.
Melton mayor Lara Carli said Djerriwarrh Festival will be great fun for the whole family and is not to be missed.
“With loads of market stalls, food trucks, activities and an exciting live music line-up there will
be something for everybody on the day,” she said.
“This is a great chance for our diverse community to come together and celebrate everything.”
