The Buzzing Yarra Valley Community

Get your supplies of fresh, locally grown produce and handcrafted delicacies and crafts at one of the farmers’ markets held regularly throughout the region. These markets are also social hubs where neighbours can connect, get to know and support each other.
The valley’s calendar is chock-full with local festivals celebrating wine and food, music and art. There’s also plenty of cultural opportunities to get amongst, with galleries, theatres, and community centres hosting exhibitions, performances, and workshops year-round. Annual highlights include the Yarra Valley Smaller Wineries Harvest Festival and the Healesville Music Festival.
