Hurstbridge Wattle Festival

Come and celebrate our unique Australian heritage, environment and community. The Hurstbridge Wattle Festival is a significant cultural event for Melbournians that has its roots firmly planted in the early pioneering history of the Nillumbik area.

Enjoy an extensive array of food, wine, entertainment and activities as you stroll through historic Hurstbridge township during the lively Wattle Festival.

The K class steam locomotive and five carriages will arrive at Hurstbridge railway station at 10.30am and shuttle rides will operate all day for only 45 (Hurstbridge to Eltham and return).
