All the fun of the Craigieburn Festival

Craigieburn Anzac Park will be the place to be this Saturday for the Craigieburn Festival.

The annual event will feature carnival rides, roving entertainers and free kids’ activities including face-painting, a circus workshop, puppet activities and an animal farm.

There will also be live music throughout the day from a variety of musicians including Byron Bay singer and songwriter Kyle Lionhart, who will headline the event. Other performers include Viktoria K, InSync Entertainment and Denzil Para.

Several food trucks, including Curly Suds, Little Waffle Empire, and Airport Ice Cream, will be in attendance.

An active zone will be set up featuring Upfield Soccer Club, Craigieburn Little Athletics, Hume Bombers Football Club and Fernwood Fitness, while there will also be stalls from community groups such as Banksia Gardens and Second Chance Animal Rescue.

The festival will conclude with fireworks, which will follow the CFA Torchlight Parade.

The parade, which is now in its 75th year, will take place at 8.45pm and will include representatives from Craigieburn CFA, the SES, police and Ambulance Victoria.

The Craigieburn Festival is on from 11.30am-9.30pm.
