Enjoy all things local this Winter

To encourage the community to stay, explore and enjoy all things Cardinia Shire, What’s On Cardinia have partnered with local businesses to deliver deals and showcase their amazing products and services at Winterfest.

From 24 June to Sunday 9 July, the festival will have local businesses offering deals, discounts, activities, events, and experiences.

Cardinia Shire Deputy Mayor Councillor Jack Kowarzik is encouraging the community to enjoy these school holidays close to home.

“Winterfest will be a great opportunity for residents to explore and engage with their local community,” he said.

Winterfest events and deals may include:

-School Holidays at Gumbuya World

-Paint Your Own Pottery Workshop at Robert Gordon Pottery

-Soup And Cider At Bellevue Farm Gate

-Kids Eat Free at Caldermeade Farm

Much more will be on offer during the festivities.

“We have so many talented local creatives and impressive businesses within Cardinia Shire, and I’m proud to see them showcased throughout the festival.” Cr Kowarzik said.
