After a three-year hiatus, one of the Bellarine’s most-loved events is returning to put a sweet pep in your step.
Wallington Primary School’s Strawberry Fair will have local produce, handmade crafts, vintage treasures, ecofriendly goods, artisanal bakes, gourmet street food and quirky gifts.
Principal Cameron Edwards said there will be more than 80 market stalls, live entertainment, delicious food, and of course, plenty of strawberries.
“Visitors can browse a vast array of market stalls for early Christmas presents or treats for themselves,” he said.
“We’re really proud of the entertainment line-up, it’s going to be a vibrant, joyful atmosphere from start to finish.
“For the sweet tooth, there’s the Strawberry Hall with an array of delicious strawberry snacks from pavlovas to choc-dipped strawberries, to the perennial favourite strawberries and cream.
“The fair is not just a fundraiser, it’s a chance to bring our school community together and showcase everything that makes Wallington Primary School so special.”
Get ready to groove with live music and roving performers with soul legends the Sweethearts, sing along with rising star Ella Joan, and enjoy the sounds of the Christian College Band and a dozen roving buskers.
Family fun and thrill rides means there is something for all ages. From adrenaline-pumping rides like The Sizzler, Dodgem Cars, and the Go Gator Rollercoaster, to adorable experiences like puppy yoga, pony rides, and the petting zoo. Kids can also dive into fun with craft activities and a laser skirmish.
You won’t go hungry, with 18 food trucks dishing out tasty bites from across the globe, alongside a classic sausage sizzle run by Ocean Grove Barwon Heads Lions Club. Drinks, snacks, and sweet treats will be available.
The fair will be held at Wallington Primary School on Sunday November 2 from 10am to 4pm with entry via a gold-coin donation.
