Mark the date in your diary for Saturday, 7 February 2026, with festivities kicking off from 4pm and rolling into a relaxed, vibrant evening under the stars.
Millfest is all about celebrating community, creativity and connection, and this year’s program delivers on all fronts. Live music will set the soundtrack for the evening, creating an upbeat atmosphere and inviting visitors to relax, dance and soak up the summer vibes. Throughout the festival grounds, a curated collection of retail stalls will form a bustling marketplace, showcasing local makers, handmade goods, artisan products and unique finds that make browsing a joy.
Families are especially well catered for, with a dedicated kids’ activity zone offering games, face painting and plenty of hands-on fun to keep little ones entertained while parents explore the festival. Food lovers will also be spoilt for choice, with a diverse range of local food stalls serving everything from family favourites to more gourmet offerings. These will be complemented by a selection of refreshing local alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, perfect for a warm summer evening.
Visitors are encouraged to bring a chair or picnic rug, settle in and enjoy an easy-going night where great food, live entertainment, shopping and family fun come together. Millfest is a celebration of everything that makes Millthorpe special — welcoming, creative and community-focused — and a wonderful way to enjoy a summer evening together.
