Since 2008, the Mayo Arts Festival has built a reputation as a vibrant, family-friendly community event.

Named in honour of prominent Australian sculptor and past student Daphne Mayo, the festival celebrates the arts.

Offering something for all ages to enjoy, it attracts hundreds of visitors to browse the artisan markets and visual art installations, participate in creative workshops, savour delicious food and enjoy live music and entertainment.

The amusement rides, face painting, animal farm and traditional fair style games and activities are always popular with young children.

Entry to the event is free.

RIDE WRISTBANDS

Ride wristbands are now on sale. St Margaret's students and friends can ride all day with an armband. Pre purchase for $40 or purchase on the day from the Merchandise Stall for $45. Individual ride tickets will also be available. The rides will kick off at 11am and finish at 5pm while the animal farm will operate between 11am and 3pm.

For our younger St Margaret’s students and perhaps younger siblings or family members, please note there are age/height restrictions on some rides which are listed on the Trybooking page. Individual ride tickets might be a better value option for smaller children.
