This Mother’s Day weekend, the town of Healesville will come alive with the sights and sounds of its annual community celebration.
Organised by Healesville Festival Inc., a local group of residents, the two-day event promises a rich mix of culture, creativity, and connection.
Kicking off on Saturday 10 May, the ’Venue Hop’ invites visitors to explore seven local venues hosting an eclectic mix of music, dance, and hands-on workshops.
Highlights include performances from blues powerhouse Lloyd Spiegel Trio and Yarra Valley favourites Smoke Stack Rhino.
For those keen to dive deeper into global sounds, Saturday also features interactive workshops spanning Hungarian dance, Indonesian percussion, flamenco, and more.
On Sunday, the festival shifts outdoors with a free Family Fun Day on Green Street.
Expect multicultural performances, food stalls, kids’ art activities, and even a free guitar building session with local craftsman Brend Brute.
It’s a weekend designed to bring people together—locals and visitors alike—in celebration of community, creativity, and of course, mums.
