The first St Andrew’s Rd Spring Festival is coming up.

The free event will take place on the street and inside the South Shepparton Community Church, featuring various fun activities for the whole family.

On the day, you can expect to see food and coffee trucks, live music, a raffle, as well as lots of fun activities for kids.

Local businesses attending include Shepparton Recovery group, Carolyn Chisolm Society’s GV Family and Pregnancy Support Service, Rumbalara, Sudanese Fellowship, and Esperansa East Timor.

There will be activities for the kids which include craft making, upcycling decorating or some Indigenous face painting with the Rumbalara playgroup.

There will also be a pop-up op shop, a whip cracking demonstration and a workshop on how to make a flower crown with Blooming Buckets.

Organiser Bethany Hunter said everyone is welcome to head down to the festival.

“We’d love people to come along to the Spring Festival on November 4, it’s going to be a celebration of our neighbourhood — one that we are all a part of in some way,” she said.

“There will be opportunities to connect with a range of services and groups who do such wonderful work in our community, as well as just have a lot of fun.

“There will be good food, fun free activities, and places to chill out, enjoy some local talent and plenty of space for the kids to play, we hope to see you there.”

The festival will be held on Saturday, November 4.
