See you next year!
Due to the ongoing stay at home orders in Greater Sydney and Covid-19 restrictions, the Strathfield Spring Festival has been cancelled.
While we are disappointed that the event cannot go ahead, the safety and health of our community always comes first.
We hope to see you next year for a day filled with family fun next year!
In the meantime, stay safe and thank you for your efforts to help keep our community safe.
Stay tuned to our Facebook page for updates on all Strathfield Events.

Can you guess who we have in store for you this year? Hint: she’s enthusiastic, imaginative and loves to go on adventures with her sister!
The Garden was a popular feature of the 2019 Spring Festival with a seedling planting activation, flower crown workshop and composting demos!
Give your little ones the chance to discover their green side by visiting the Garden this year!
We’re bringing the farm to you on Sunday 5 September! Pat a piglet, goat and little ducks! If that’s not enough, you don’t want to miss out on a pony ride around our much loved park.
Are you ready for a special story time with your favourite librarians in The Garden?
