Kenilworth Family Fun Day 2026
The Kenilworth Family Fun Day is a free community event held at the Kenilworth Showgrounds in the heart of the Mary Valley. This celebration focuses on creative arts and local culture, offering families a chance to enjoy a wide range of hands on activities and performances. The fun kicks off at 9 am and provides a welcoming atmosphere for all ages to soak in the local spirit while enjoying the beautiful country surroundings.
Visitors can look forward to a diverse line up of live music and entertainment. Highlights include performances by the Junior Burger Band and Mama Buluka, an energetic group showcasing West African music and dance traditions. There are also plenty of roving entertainers to keep the kids smiling, such as stilt walkers, the Bubble Fairy, and lively puppet shows that bring laughter to the crowds throughout the day.
Creativity is at the centre of the event with numerous workshops and interactive stalls. Children can try their hand at making their own puppets, creating bush critters, or building a rainforest in a jar with local authors and educators. The event also hosts an art exhibition and various craft projects led by community groups, ensuring there is something to inspire everyone who attends.
In addition to the arts, the day features educational displays from environmental organisations, wildlife volunteers, and emergency services. Families can meet local heroes from the SES and Rural Fire Brigade or learn about sustainability at the worm farm stall. With plenty of food options including a classic sausage sizzle, woodfired pizza, and sweet treats, it is a great idea to bring along a picnic blanket and settle in for a full day of outdoor enjoyment.
