Granny Smith Festival 2024

One of Sydney's juiciest festivals in back this spring to celebrate 39 years of our favourite delicious green apples.

The Granny Smith Festival is serving up loads of apple-filled fun this October, including a special visit from The Wiggles! Held in the heart of Eastwood, this beloved event celebrates one of Australia's most famous apples—yes, the humble yet mighty Granny Smith.

Granny Smith Festival 2024

The annual Granny Smith Festival celebrates the life and legacy of one of Australia's most famous citizens, Maria Ann Smith - aka Granny Smith - who, back in 1868, 'accidentally' grew the first batch of little green apples that bear her name and are now grown all over the world!

The festival began in 1985 and is now regarded as one of Sydney's largest street festivals, a true community carnival, full of colour and good old fashioned fun. It attracts over 90,000 each year and is supported by local businesses, sporting and service organisations, schools and the wider community.

What's On This Year?

From market stalls offering unique crafts and goods to a variety of food trucks serving delicious eats, there's something for everyone. This year, the festival will feature a banner lineup of performances, including special performances by The Wiggles!

The festival will feature engaging performances and a dedicated youth zone filled with activities and workshops for the younger crowd. And, of course, the grand street parade will showcase over 700 local participants, adding a vibrant and communal spirit to the festivities.
