Mernda Community Fair 2015
Preparations for the 3rd annual Mernda Community Fair to be held on Sunday 29th March 2015 are well underway! The previous two events attracted thousands to the center of Mernda Villages to find out about what’s happening in their local community, and to take part in the great free and cheap activities on the day! There will be something for everyone, with fun and entertainment for all ages. Local community, sports and dance groups will be in attendance, and we will have a market area with a wide variety of goods for sale. Music and performances will be running throughout the day, as well as free balloon art, and super cheap pony rides and face painting.
This year the YMCA will be bringing their mobile skate ramp and providing free clinics, right in the middle of Mernda Villages! Skateboards will be provided. We also have extreme mountain bike demonstrations from an Australian Mountain Bike Trials champion, petting zoo, reptile display, fire engine rides, classic cars display, and more!

MADRA is pleased to announce that the 3rd Mernda Community Fair will be taking place on March 29th, 2015 from 1pm to 5pm! The first two Town Fairs in 2012 and 2013 provided a great family event for Mernda and the surrounding suburbs, with plenty of free entertainment, including the very popular Empire FMX bikes doing stunts in the middle of Mernda Villages Drive, and performances and demonstrations from local groups on the main stage. The last Town Fair attracted 5,000 people, and this year we hope to make it even bigger!
If you are interested in having a stall please complete the online Stallholder application form. Stalls will include community groups, food vendors, sports, dance, schools, as well as a market area.
