St John's Community Fair
Overview
Canberra's favourite Spring Fair is returning. St John's will come alive with stalls, music, food, arts and games, welcoming guests from across Canberra and the surrounding region.
Pick up some local gifts from the extensive range of books, plants, clothes, cakes, jams, craft, trinkets and pre-loved goods.
Enjoy delicious international food or bring a picnic to enjoy under the shady trees.
Hear from local performers covering new and old musical favourites, with intimate concerts and organ recitals held inside the church. The tower bellringers will keep time with familiar tunes every hour.
Learn about medieval arts and crafts, and watch out for the popular Medieval Tournament.
Kids can enjoy the dedicated Kids Zone with rides, games and amusements.
Tour the 181-year-old precinct, including Canberra's first church, school and graveyard. Tours will be run by the Royal Military College Duntroon Guides.
The St John's Community Fair is all about celebrating community, inclusivity and fun – and helping raise funds for the vital work of the Parish.
