Hills Carnivale 2026

⚠️ Important event changes
Tomorrow is set to be sunny, but unfortunately this week’s wet weather has affected George Willmore Park. But don’t worry, the rain can’t wash away all the fun!
Due to the weather, Hills Carnivale will look a little bit different this Saturday, with rides unfortunately no longer able to operate and an adjusted layout. More information here

Hills Carnivale brings to a close four weeks of incredible events as part of the Hills Festival. The free entry event at George Willmore Park runs from 12pm to 7pm and features entertainment across two stages, including a dedicated Kids Stage and a Main Stage with performances throughout the day.

Food and beverage vendors, market stalls, and free activities will be on offer, with amusement rides available for $2 per ride. Guests are welcome to bring their own food and drinks, chairs, and picnic rugs. Please note this is an alcohol and glass free event, and a water bottle filling station will be available on site.

Dogs are welcome on a lead, though owners are asked to pick up after their pets and have them off site before the 7pm fireworks display.

Parking is limited to street parking, so attendees are encouraged to take public transport (train to Ferny Grove Station, then a 10 minute walk) or walk if nearby. A drop-off and pick-up zone is available on Bundar Crescent.

The event will proceed in light rain, though program elements may be adjusted if weather creates a safety concern. Any cancellation will be announced on social media.
