SunFest Sunbury postponed

One of Sunbury’s most beloved festivals has postponed its event due to the ongoing uncertainty of event planning during the pandemic.

In a post made on social media on December 18, the SunFest Sunbury stated they had made the decision to postpone the event with the aim of hosting two smaller events later in 2022.

“We understand that this will come as an enormous disappointment for the community, businesses and community groups that have been enquiring about SunFest 2022,” SunFest president Craig McTaggart said.

“We truly appreciate your support and hope to see you again next year.”

Mr McTaggart said due to restrictions not lifting until November, the committee was unable to apply for the permits required to run the large public event.

In a regular year, SunFest includes a parade, amusement rides, a colour run, fireworks and more.
