St John's Community Fair
Overview
One of Canberra's most cherished community events, the St John's Community Fair, returns, offering a vibrant day out for families and locals in the heart of the city.
This year, the Fair celebrates the 180th anniversary of St John's. The Kids' Zone returns with rides, amusements and a live reptile display, and there will be food options including Thai, Filipino, burgers, a sausage sizzle and coffee, cakes and gelato.
Throughout the day, there'll be performances from local singers, the McQuoids Bush Band and the Canberra Pipes and Drums, plus displays from the Church Bellringers, the Canberra Regional Medieval Society and many more.
In addition, they'll have:
Huge plant and book sales – including thousands of donated titles.
Food stalls – Filipino, Thai, burgers, and the famous sausage sizzle.
Stalls galore – cakes, clothes, gifts, and white elephant treasures.
Kids' Zone – rides, attractions, and a live reptile display.
The Community Fair is all about celebrating community, inclusivity and fun – and helping raise funds for the vital work of the Parish.
They look forward to seeing you.
