This weekend, the 53rd Willunga Almond Blossom Festival is set to dazzle visitors with new and exciting attractions, making it an event you won't want to miss. Highlighting the festivities will be the Inferno Fire Performers, who will captivate the audience with their spectacular fire twirling and fire breathing show on Saturday night. Their performance will culminate in a grand fireworks display, promising an unforgettable evening. “Inferno thrilled crowds at this year’s Adelaide Fringe Festival in February and are arguably Australia’s hottest fire show,” said Sally Scantlebury, Festival Manager. “They will bring a theatrical new dimension to our winter festival.”
The historic Willunga Show Hall will come alive with music throughout the weekend, featuring a variety of local artists and bands. This year, the lineup includes a showcase of young, emerging talent managed by Year 12 students from the Willunga Waldorf School.
A cherished tradition, the Almond Blossom Festival Cake Competition, invites bakers to showcase their skills. Judged by the Country Women’s Association, local chefs, and special guests, the competition offers prizes for all ages.
Families will find an abundance of children's activities centered around a new giant tipi, including science shows, story time, a petting zoo, camel and pony rides, mini golf, and giant games.
The festival offers a diverse array of attractions and activities for all ages. From thrilling show rides and live music to kids' crafts and games, a vintage car display, market stalls, delicious food and drinks, fireworks, and almond-inspired activities, there's something for everyone.
This beloved festival is a testament to Willunga’s community spirit, commitment to tradition, and support for local businesses. Join us on the 27th and 28th of July at Willunga Recreation Park for two days of inclusive family fun and celebrate the region’s largest community event.
