The St Andrews Road Spring Festival is returning for its third year, celebrating community connection and the incredible work of local groups that call the St Andrews Road neighbourhood hub home.

The not-for-profit twilight event will be held on Saturday, November 1, in Shepparton, and promises an evening filled with free and low-cost activities for the whole family.
Visitors can enjoy live music, food trucks, kids’ activities, market stalls, crafts, whip cracking, tea tasting, flower arranging with Blooming Buckets and more.
Co-ordinator Jasmine Marshall said the event continued to embrace the same philosophy that made last year’s festival such a success.
“It went really well last year. We’re using the same philosophy of bringing the community together — so many different community groups use St Andrews Road and have a connection to the building.
This is really about celebrating all the fantastic work each of these organisations do,” she said.
The proceeds will support youth programs, including the Kids Rock band and youth group at St Andrews Road.
Around 50 volunteers are expected to help run the stalls and barbecues, with story time for children every half hour.
“It’s about belonging, and the wonderful thing it is when everyone works together to contribute to a collective cause,” Ms Marshall said.
Stay tuned for updates on social media about special activities between 7pm and 8pm at the festival.
