FESTIVALS & EVENTS
Murrindindi Beanie and Fibre Festival
The Murrindindi Beanie and Fibre Festival is a community event, a feast of fibre art, fabulous beanies, winter warmers and more. Expanding to become the Fibre Festival of the North East, the event features an arts precinct full of both indoor and outdoor market stalls, yummy treats, pre booked workshops, quilt displays and fibre art, sculptures in the park and all within an easy and picturesque walk amoung the Autumn leaves.
The town of Alexandra comes alive with all things beanie, as lamp posts, shops and businesses take up the fibre festival challenge. Beanies and winter warmers of all shapes and sizes are donated, displayed and available to purchase. You can even bid for your favourite creation if you can’t make it in person. Check out the website to see last year’s creations.
Anyone can create and donate a beautiful beanie, beginners and children are encouraged to enter. The ‘Beanie Kids Recycled Creations’ category can be made of any material. The 2025 theme is ‘The world in black and white’.
For further information on how you can enter and donate a beanie or two, category details, conditions and entry forms, look for the Festival brochure on the website or visit the Facebook page. Proceeds from the sale of the beanies go towards local charities within the community of Murrindindi.
Alexandra Annual Spring Show
Held on the second Saturday in November each year, the Alexandra Annual Spring Show has been a part of Alexandra’s history for 140 years.
A showcase of local livestock including a cattle display, shearing demonstrations, widely renowned Poultry competition, Horse arena events and Working dog trials are held throughout the day.
The first hobby horse events (for adults and children) were held at the 2024 Show and they are looking forward to 2025 for a bigger event.
Come and have a go at ‘guessing the weight’, get your face painted, have a look at the dog obedience displays, check out the tractors and fuel tankers, watch the horses, look at the products in the ladies pavilion, grab an ice cream and so much more.
Come along and help to celebrate the 140th Annual Spring Show.
