25.01.2022 Today has turned out to be a very different day to the one planned by the hard working FunFest committee. I just wanted to send a thank you to the many volunteers who contribute to FunFest each year, but particularly the people who worked on planning all year to bring Emerald the show of the year, that wasn't to be. Rosemary Hawke, Hilary Boreham, Kim Gearon, Robert Gearon, Benjamin Kewish - Physiotherapist, Trish Enzinger, Sarah Torsello, Phil Byers, Blaise Cosme, Grizlec - Registered Electrician, Dale Blair, Trina Gearon, Vanessa Ellinor Kewish, Margaret Anderson (Ian) Amanda Murie

20.01.2022 Who needs street signs? Is this possibly the best way finding ever?! Throw back to #FunFest 2019, when the hidden gem of FunFest, The Hive Wine Bar, became not so hidden. Located in the old bakehouse building behind the Commonwealth Bank, The Hive will again be offering relaxation and liquid refreshment. Inside the bar is respite from the hustle and bustle of the vibrant festival, outside the bar you'll find the main stage, sponsored by Berwick Spine & Orthopaedic Centre..., Melbourne - http://saoc.com.au . Pop in for a drink, a chat and listen to some live music, while sampling wines and craft beers from some fabulous local wineries and breweries. The Hive will also be open throughout the entire PAVE - Performing And Visual arts in Emerald Festival , so you can grab a pre or post show drink, or simply drop by for a quiet drink after work. #TBT #winebar #craftbeer #livemusic #melbourne #emerald #festival #dangenongranges #hills #yarravalley #community

16.01.2022 FunFest organisers have paid close attention to media, health expert commentary, government announcements and public sentiment, relating to the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic. Our commitment to the health, safety and enjoyment for our volunteers, artists, vendors and the general public was priority.

Break out the top hats and monocles and lift your selfie game at #FunFest 2020! #steampunk #steampunkstyle #thebrassharpies #melbourne #emerald #festival #family #dangenongranges #hills #yarravalley #community #familyfestival
