We want to hear what YOU think ...
When we plan events for children, we like to ask children who live and play in Greater Dandenong some questions to make sure the event is something you will love!
Right now, we’re planning this year's Children’s Festival 🎉 and want to know what would make it awesome for YOU and your friends and family!
It’s super easy! There are no right or wrong answers—we just want to know what you think!
Ready? Then, let’s go! 🎉
First, check out some awesome things from past festivals!
The Children’s Festival is spread over three weeks in the Term 3 holidays with lots of fun events and activities happening at different places in Greater Dandenong.
Little Day Out is one of the headline events in the Children’s Festival (along with Deckchair Movies).
The event is all about families and kids having fun together. There will be entertainment, performers walking around, food, community stalls, and rides! And it's free for everyone to attend!
- This year the Children's Festival will be held between Saturday 21 September to Friday 11 October 2025.
- Little Day Out is on Sunday 22 September, from 11am-4pm, at Noble Park’s Ross Reserve.
