The official dates and a new committee for SunFest 2025 were announced this month, with a weekend of rides, food, and local entertainment set for March next year.
Running on Saturday, March 15 and Sunday, March 16, next year’s program will include a school choir competition, the Grand Street Parade, a colour run, carnival rides, and market and food stalls.
SunFest committee secretary Kate Topp said that the committee consists of 18 volunteers who are “all really dedicated to putting on a fabulous event for our community.”
“It’s a huge weekend festival … we have rides, we have stalls, we have entertainment going all day Saturday and Sunday … we’ve been going for 49 years – we actually started up after the Sunbury Rock Festival,” Ms Topp said.
“Some of our committee members have been on the committee for 30 years plus … it’s really a family and generational thing, it just keeps bringing people back to it.”
She said that the committee is always open to applications from new volunteers and sponsors to help provide the best event possible for Sunbury residents.
“We just want all the community to be represented and to have a great time.”
In its 49th year, SunFest 2025 will run at the Sunbury Village Green from March 15–16. The festival received a multi-year grant through Hume’s Established Major Events grant stream.
