Nothing was going to stop Celebrate Mooroolbark’s 21st year from going ahead even with high temperatures predicted for Saturday 18 March.

The two-day festival instead saw hundreds of people roll into the town to experience the rides, market stalls, car show, animal farm and incredible line up of entertainment.

Community groups were able to spread the word about their organisations, meeting and greeting people with stalls to share what’s on offer in Mooroolbark and surrounding areas.

As a festival organised by a group of passionate volunteers who see the value in community spirit and engagement, the team was extremely grateful to have had the support of the community once again to make for a terrific festival.

“On behalf of everyone who volunteers for the Celebrate Mooroolbark Festival, thank you for your love and support this year. We always strive to make our festival a fun, safe and exciting place to be,“ a social media post read.

No doubt planning for next year’s festival will aim to top what was a brilliant 2023 event.
