The Maroondah Festival held each year at Croydon Park, is the premiere cultural and community event for Maroondah. This year I attended the festival to assist with a number of community stalls and to speak to local residents.
While there was heavy rain early in the morning, we were fortunate for the rain to subside by 11:30am ensuring that the day’s festivities could be fully enjoyed. The Maroondah Festival provides the ideal opportunity to showcase the many community and advocacy groups that exist in our municipality and congratulations must be extended to the many volunteers of these groups in organising stalls and providing a presence at the festival.
