Cronulla Spring Festival

The Cronulla Spring Festival is the biggest annual community event of the Sutherland Shire.

The festivities, which take place in the seaside town of Cronulla, mark the beginning of spring with many activities for the whole family to enjoy.

The weekend event is held every September, with over 100 stalls selling artisanal wares, dozens of food trucks, and live music all day. Patrons of all ages can enjoy the carnival, entertainment, rides, classic car shows, face painting, a petting zoo, and delicious food.

Each year, event organisers continue adding new and exciting elements to the festival, such as the recent addition of interactive displays. Charity stalls also set up shop during the Cronulla Spring Festival to help raise funds and awareness for important child-related causes as kids are a strong event focus.

Entrance to the festival is free for all, with visitors also welcome to check out the nearby restaurants and cafes in town. All the stalls are set up outdoors, but there will be changing facilities, bathrooms, and a breastfeeding area for those who need it. Most stalls and kids’ activities will be concentrated around Monro Park and the Cronulla Mall.

Cronulla is renowned for being Sydney’s longest beach. It’s just 45 minutes away by train from the Sydney CBD, and it’s the only beach in town that’s connected to a railway station – so getting here is easy. Visitors bringing a car can park at the onsite parking lot.
