Craigieburn Festival finds a new home at Anzac park

Craigieburn Festival has a new home.

The two-day community celebration will be held at the new Craigieburn Anzac Park this year.

Hume mayor Drew Jessop said the park was an ideal location for the festival, which will provide entertainment for people of all ages.

“Anyone attending the Craigieburn Festival this year can expect an amazing venue and a weekend jam-packed with something for everyone,” he said.

The festival runs from 3pm until 10pm on Saturday, March 4, and 11am until 4pm on Sunday, March 5.

It will feature food trucks, carnival rides, free children’s activities and a ‘pets in the park’ zone, which will offer stalls and activities for cats and dogs.

“You’ll be able to relax on the grass and watch entertainment on the main stage.

“There will be some fantastic local singers and dancers performing,” Cr Jessop said.

“We’ll have free pony and camel rides, and a jumping castle for children who love to bounce.

“It’s sure to be a fun weekend, complete with the CFA torchlight parade, and fireworks on the Saturday night that will light up the Craigieburn sky shortly after dusk.”

Cr Jessop said he hopes people from Hume and beyond will attend this year’s festival at Craigieburn.

“The community of Craigieburn is home to so many young families, and the suburb is the perfect place for such a big weekend event,” he said.
