Hume City Council is excited to announce the return of Craigieburn Festival to Anzac Park on Saturday 21 March, with activities commencing from 1pm.

This much-loved family event is a staple for those in and around Melbourne's north every year and is once again expected to be a hit with locals and visitors.

Guaranteed to draw widespread attention, our live music stage will be brought to life with the infectious energy of our festival headliner Melbourne Ska Orchestra, whose members have been entertaining on home soil and internationally for two decades.

Led by Nicky Bomba, Melbourne Ska Orchestra is known for explosive shows that create ska-infused, cinematic concert masterpieces that need to be seen to be believed.

The multi-ARIA award winning crew will hit the stage at 7:45pm, following acts such as Horns of Leroy feat. Thndo, local favourite AYDAN and more to keep the crowd moving throughout the day.

On top of our live music line-up Craigieburn Festival will be jam-packed with all the family-friendly, all-ages entertainment and activities locals love including carnival rides, food trucks, market stalls and more.

The festival is a free, non-ticketed event, but we encourage you to register your interest in attending via our Eventbrite page. This will allow you to get the latest Craigieburn Festival announcements sent to your inbox.
