Good Friday will host the Bacchus on the Lake fun run, and will see the return of Pioneer Park Action Day, one of Griffith’s best family days out, where the park comes to life!

Be sure to add this one to your list as it is full of fun kid’s activities, market stalls, vintage machinery, demonstrations, entertainment, food and beverages.

Finish your day with a Good Friday feast at the Exies Annual Seafood Buffet where you can indulge in a selection of fresh seafood.

Get your shopping fix at the Banna Avenue Sidewalk Sale on Easter Saturday morning where the main street will be bursting with sales - grab a coffee from one of the many local cafes and pick up a bargain while supporting local retailers.

One of Griffith’s most popular events, the Griffith Vintage Festival, will be back on Saturday afternoon featuring live music and an array of local wine and food. Always a hit amongst the locals, the event offers something for everyone to enjoy.

Returning to the program this year on Easter Saturday is Blood, Sweat & Beers, which is set to be bigger and better! Run by local business Grainmother Brewing Supplies, the family friendly event will feature children’s entertainment, the best street eats and live music from local bands, as well as showcasing a variety of craft beers. Held in the Burley Griffin Community Gardens, the event was a huge success in 2022 and is bound to be even more popular this year – be sure to get your tickets early to avoid disappointment.

Easter Sunday is all about family, wine and food. Kicking off at Piccolo Family Farm, you can explore the producer and artisan market stalls, coffee, food and music. While there make sure you catch a glimpse of their Visitor Experience Centre and cellar door.

You will be spoilt for choice over the whole weekend in finding a winery event or tasting experience at one of the many amazing cellar doors. On Sunday in particular, you will need to book ahead for De Bortoli Wines annual Celebrazione festivities, Berton Wines’ Easter Sunday Sessions or a relaxing afternoon in the sun at Yarran Wines Live in the Vines until Sunset!
