Malmsbury Village Fayre 2026 a huge success – Upcoming AGM 15 June
2026 marked twenty-five years since the very first Malmsbury Village Fayre….and what an event it was!
We were blessed with another stunning Autumn day on Sunday 26 April, and thousands came from near and far to enjoy our beautiful village and support the many small businesses with stands at the Fayre and those in the village.
The event also supports many local musicians – who performed on the main stage all day – and entertainers, resulting in an amazing community and family day out. A special shout out to the Malmsbury Primary School, whose young musicians helped kick off the day with flair, and Simon Rogers, our MC extraordinaire!
New to the Fayre this year was a display to celebrate the 25 year milestone, a custom artwork by local community member Bruce Taylor and a Native Animal “Scavenger Hunt” for the kids. Returning fun for the kids were favourites like the bubble fairy, Historica Living Medieval Group, face painters, roving musicians and a Storyteller.
A huge thank you to the many volunteers on the day, and to the hard-working volunteer committee, who put many months of effort in to enable this event for the community. The day would not be possible without you!
We’d also like to thank the Macedon Ranges Shire Council for their financial support and the Autumn Festival for their inclusion of the Fayre. Thank you also for contributions from Lisa Chesters (Federal Member for Bendigo), Mary-Anne Thomas (State Member for Macedon), plus in-kind support from local businesses The Malmsbury Hotel, Ruste Belle’s, Malmsbury Pharmacy, Rathdowne Antiques and The Malmsbury General Store.
The Fayre’s AGM will be held at 7pm on June 15th at the Malmsbury Town Hall. All are welcome to attend, with a chance to share any feedback on the Fayre, and perhaps put your hand up to join the committee to help the Fayre continue!
At the AGM, we’ll also be able to determine what excess funds remain from staging the 2026 Fayre and how the committee will distribute those back to various groups in the local community.
