🎨 Face Painting – Let your child’s imagination come to life with their favourite colours and characters.
🐣 Easter Egg Hunts – Get those baskets ready! There are chocolate treasures waiting to be found all across the park. (Paticipation in the egg hunt needed to be pre-booked)
📸 Photos with the Easter Bunny – Don’t forget your camera (or phone)! Snap that perfect Easter memory with everyone’s favourite bunny.
🐑 Animal Farm – A big hit with younger kids! Cuddle a lamb, pat a bunny, or say hello to some furry and feathered friends.
🎁 Show Bags Galore – Full of treats, toys and surprises – the ultimate take-home joy for kids.
And for the entire family, there’s live music, delicious eats from food trucks, and market stalls brimming with goodies. Whether you’re into local crafts, sweet treats, or a hot coffee to fuel your day, there’s something to enjoy at every turn.
Don’t Miss the Easter Bonnet Parade!
At 12pm sharp, the Easter Bonnet Parade kicks off — a colourful, creative highlight of the day. Kids (and parents!) are encouraged to get crafty and show off their best bonnet creations. It’s a moment of pure joy, with lots of smiles, photos, and community cheer.
A Day to Celebrate Community & Connection
EasterFest isn’t just about the chocolate (although there’s plenty of that too!) — it’s a chance for the Moorabool Shire community to come together. With families from all around the region gathering at Maddingley Park, it’s a beautiful reminder of the simple joy in spending a day outdoors, sharing laughter, and making memories.
A Few Handy Tips Before You Go
🌞 It’s going to be a warm one! With a sunny 29°C forecast, be sure to pack hats, sunscreen, and water bottles. Shade is available, but come prepared for a full day in the sun.
🧺 Bring a picnic rug – Whether you’re enjoying lunch from one of the delicious food vendors or relaxing while the kids run wild, having a base makes the day even better.
📷 Charge your phone or camera – You’ll want to capture all those sweet Easter moments, from egg hunts to bunny cuddles.
The Bacchus Marsh EasterFest is a true celebration of family, fun, and all things Easter. If you’re looking for a day out that will delight the kids and give you that warm community feeling, this is the event to hop along to.
We’ll see you there – ears and all! 🐇💐
