Celebrate what makes the Hawkesbury great
23 June 2025
Hawkesbury Fest returns for 2025, promising a great family day out and an important opportunity to discover all about the work Council and our community partners do in the Hawkesbury.
Boasting 20 stalls from our local community partners, 19 market stalls, 15 food trucks and tents, kids activities, free face painting and emergency services display, Hawkesbury Fest is a great day out for all ages.
There will also be 10 interactive and informative Council stalls to immerse yourself in, including arts and culture, community services, waste and sustainability, community nursery, companion animal shelter, major projects and more!
Come ride The Wiggles’ Big Red Car, chillax in the Youth Zone with our 360 Video Photo booth and art wall, enjoy the free amusement rides, or sit and listen to our acoustic performers while you eat some delicious food from food trucks or the community BBQ. Hawkesbury Fest has something for everybody!
Hawkesbury Fest is a dog-friendly event, so bring your furry friend (on a leash of course).
Looking for a more lowkey experience? Arrive from 10am for our Sensory Hour where we keep the lights and sounds to an absolute minimum for those who may benefit from reduced sensory stimulation. There is also plenty of seating, and great quiet places to pause and reset and overlook the beautiful Hawkesbury River.
We also want to know what makes the Hawkesbury special to you. Do you have a favourite view, moment, or memory that captures the spirit of our region? Whether it’s nature or vibrant local life. We want to see it! Snap a photo that showcases what the Hawkesbury means to you – nature, people, places, or moments. Send it to events@hawkesbury.nsw.gov.au by 5pm on Tuesday 15 July 2025, including your name and contact number and you could win a one-night stay for two in a King Premium Room at Crowne Plaza Hawkesbury Valley, including a full buffet breakfast – valued at $430!
Hawkesbury Fest is how we celebrate the Hawkesbury during Local Government Week, so come along and celebrate with us at this free event on Sunday, 3 August, 10am to 3pm at Governor Phillip Park, Windsor.
