After the success of our first East Gippsland Makers' Festival our Club will be hosting the event once again on Easter Saturday, the 19th of April, 2025 at the Bairnsdale Racecourse. In 2025 the Festival will expand to feature Sustainable Living Concepts as well has Lost Trades and Craftspeople. We will be providing free entertainment for families, live music and a variety of fabulous food. Funds raised from this event will be donated to the Bairnsdale Neighbourhood House Re-Build Project. 
Our club, the Rotary Club of Mitchell River Bairnsdale, is hosting our first Makers' Festival on the 30th of March,2024 at the Bairnsdale Racecourse. We are showcasing old trades, arts and crafts from East Gippsland and beyond. 
 
There will be artisans demonstrating throughout the day, stalls selling their handcrafted products, great food, live music and games for children to enjoy. 
 
We are raising funds for the Bairnsdale Neighbourhood House Re-build Project and hope to have great community support. 
 
Stallholders are welcome to apply (follow the link in the EVENTS section of this webpage) and applications are due in by the 25th of March, 2024.
