There is less than a month to go until the 49th SunFest, with the volunteer committee excited to unite Sunbury residents for the two-day annual event.
Running on Saturday, March 15 and Sunday, March 16, the festival will include market stalls, food vendors, live entertainment, a street parade, and children’s activities.
Committee president Angus McTaggart said the committee always enjoys “[bringing] the community together in a two-day, fully free-to-enter community event.”
“We’ve been going for 49 years this year … so it’s been part of the Sunbury community for a very, very long time,” Mr McTaggart said.
“Everyone knows it’s the third weekend in March and everyone looks forward to it.”
He said preparation for the festival begins about a year in advance.
“It does take quite a bit of time … we are a group of about 20 volunteers … so we’re always looking for more people to come onboard with different specialities and ideas to build up SunFest [to be] even better than every other year,” he said.
“It’s awesome to be able to collaborate with different people, different backgrounds … and being able to bring that all together in a special … event for the community.”
