Anticipation is growing in the lead up to the return of the much-loved family event, Winterfest Camden – a return four years in the making.

The event was first held in 2019 and, due to overwhelming support by the community, was then slated as an annual event. However, it wasn’t meant to be with the COVID-19 pandemic forcing the event to cancel in 2020 and 2021, and Camden’s fourth flood in five months forcing the cancellation of the event in 2022.

This year, the event is bigger even than the popular 2019 edition, having moved to the larger site at Onslow Oval in Camden. The site will transform into a winter wonderland from 10am to 9pm daily from Friday 7 July to Sunday 9 July, for three days of fun-filled
winter themed activities and entertainment for the entire family.

Activities over the three days include:

• Ice-skating rink and ice slide;
• Mechanical snowboard and snow globe;
• Kids activities and inclusive space;
• Live entertainment and ice performances;
• Food and beverage stalls;
• Themed displays and activations; and
• Lots more!

Mayor of Camden, Cr Ashleigh Cagney, said she was excited to see everyone there.

“As we get closer, the reality is setting in – Winterfest Camden is really happening this time!” she said. “We know how disappointed the community was when COVID and floods forced the event to cancel in previous years. That’s why we’ve worked hard to make it the
best possible three days and we can’t wait for you to enjoy it.”
