There's nothing small about the
Glenferrie Festival that attracts over 80,000 people annually. There's an equally large number of stalls (250 stalls) to cover the masses - selling food, market products and community stalls. It's the place to be on
Sunday 3 March 2024 from 11am to 5pm at 573 Glenferrie Road, Hawthorn, to be entertained by a myriad of performers roving through the crowds. The Festival is located along Glenferrie Road, spanning from Barkers to Burwood Roads in Hawthorn. See the
discussion section of the event page for more information about some of the stallholders.
Facebook is a great way to stay in touch for updates and has a lot of interesting content about the Festival.

From stage performances to street acts, there's something for everyone at this all-ages event for the whole community. It's a fun way to mingle and experience the laid-back atmosphere with a strong sense of community, enjoy great food, and discover unique local products. Amongst the stallholders, existing Glenferrie businesses will also participate. You'll find the entertainment stage, temporary bars with beer gardens, interactive activities including Giant Games and a Petting Zoo, live music at the two Beer Gardens, rides of course, and so much more.
