Kilbirnie Festival- Fair Day
This is the big one, the eastern suburbs' biggest event and the main part of the Festival. Given good weather, over 20,000 people, far in excess of the whole eastern suburbs, crowd into Bay Rd and surrounding areas for the huge market, big range of food stalls, the kids area and rides, and to enjoy the stages and music providing a variety of musical and performance styles for all tastes.

Features at the Festival this year are two of the music stages, from the School of Rock, and the San Francisco Bathhouse. The School of Rock stage has a line-up of bands comprised of musicians 7-17 years old, tomorrow's professionals. The San Francisco Bathhouse stage will showcase original bands and performers selected from the best of new bands that have performed at this leading and award-winning Wgtn venue. And look out for other stages catering for some off the other wide range of performances! Kilbirnie Festival Fair Day, Bay Rd, 10am-4pm, Sunday 11 March.
