Gnome & Fairy Festival

Our annual community event, the Gnome & Fairy Festival is held in March each year at the George Woods Reserve, Governor Road, Mordialloc, featuring amusement rides, animal farm, face painting, live band music, craft stalls and food and drink.

We are resting the Gnome & Fairy Festival in 2025, partly because of major disruptions in the area due to rail works. We will be back bigger and better in March 2026. We look forward to welcoming all our wonderful supporters back then for another great event for young families in our community!

Our last event in March 2024 was a successful and happy day. The weather was fine and right from 10am large numbers of young families with plenty of fairies, and a few gnomes, began streaming in, and a great day was had by all!  Thank you to the many people and family groups who attended and made it such an enjoyable day. Thank you also to the many stall holders, side show operators and volunteers who all contributed to the success of the event. It was estimated that some 4,000 people attended over the course of the day.

Some background to the Gnome and Fairy Festival

Following the success of our first Gnome Festival on Australia Day, 2013, the event was re-titled as “The Gnome and Fairy Festival” in 2014 and held each year since then on a date in February or March that avoids other local community events and fits in with the school year.

The Festival brings fun to families with a whole range of activities focusing particularly on children up to 10 years of age. However there are also activities to suit all ages.
