21.01.2022 Next year’s Warrandyte Festival will (hopefully) be held in Spring 2021. We’re looking towards a weekend in October or November The Festival has been held in March for forever, so we’re adding this to the ‘unprecedented’ list we’ve all gotten used to this year. ... As you can imagine, it’s hard to plan for an event that sees ~10,000 people enjoy the weekend, without any official timelines, guidelines and COVID-safe rules being released for large outdoor events yet. It would break our hearts to cancel another one! So, fingers crossed for big community festivals being back on the calendar in 2021. In the meantime, have a safe and happy festive season with your loved ones. Edit to add: Once we lock in the event date, we will advise the application process and due dates for stall holders, food vendors and other participants via Facebook.

21.01.2022 Shout out to the performers It’s very quiet at Stiggants right now. This, and two other stages, were intended to be full of live music this weekend. Sunday night is always a highlight. ... Music is a HUGE part of what makes Warrandyte Festival so enjoyable. From emerging to well established, our musicians and roving performers bring their heart and soul to our stages. You can support musicians, tech and crew at this challenging time by streaming, buying their merch or donating to organisations like Support Act. If you were one of the performers set to take the stage at the Festival this weekend, please tag your band, let us know where we can hear you online and send a link to your merch in the comments below. #soundofsilenceau #lockdowngetdown #ILostMyGig

13.01.2022 Will the Festival go ahead or not? That’s a good question! At this stage (6.15am on Friday 13 March 2020), Warrandyte Festival Committee have NOT received advice to cancel / postpone the Festival due to COVID-19 (coronavirus). As always, we take everyone’s safety seriously, and will be guided by State and Local government recommendations about large public events, if / when they are announced. ... We hope the event goes ahead (it’s the best weekend of the year!), but if we are advised that it must be cancelled, we will let you know as soon as possible. You can keep up to date with State Government news about COVID-19 here: http://www.dhhs.vic.gov.au/victorian-public-coronavirus-dis
