We'd like to acknowledge and thank everyone involved with the Sunshine Festival!

For those that are ongoing supporters our perhaps coming on board for the first time, WE THANK YOU! The continued support is very much appreciated!

Not to mention the Committee behind it all, made up COMPLETELY of volunteers! This festival would not happen without all those involved.
We welcome all to get involved and help support the LONGEST RUNNING REGIONAL FESTIVAL in WA!

***Stall bookings are now open!***
**and we have a NEW LOCATION!***

Due to the redevelopment of the Youth Precinct at Stow Gardens, this year’s festival will be held at a new location: Maitland Park Sunday 4th October 2026

With the change in venue, please note that available power supply is limited, and generators will be in use. We kindly ask that all vendors supply their own power where possible.

If you’re unable to provide your own power, please contact us at [email protected] to discuss available options.

We appreciate your understanding and look forward to an amazing festival at our new location!

💛🌞RAYS OF SUNSHINE🌞💛

It was fantastic meeting with the gorgeous ladies behind the set-up of the Sunshine Festival.

I got the pleasure of presenting their Lotterywest grant which helps this wonderful event continue to flourish and keep our beautiful community engaged and connected.

In the photo with me are Charmaine Trezona, Yvonne Marsden, Yvonne Northey, and Nicole Wyatt and Amber Lea Miles (Secretary). The team also wished to acknowledge Ian Fisher, who has since moved away but remains a valued part of the festival’s story as previous chair.

The Geraldton-Greenough Sunshine Festival continues to be a shining example of what can be achieved through community collaboration, volunteer dedication, and local support.
