Excitement builds for first ever Maleny Farm Fest
Maleny Farm Fest is coming to the Maleny Showgrounds for the very first time — and the excitement is building fast.
Join us on Saturday 22 November, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM for the inaugural Maleny Farm Fest: a free, full-day celebration of rural life, local innovation, and hands-on learning.
For a first-year event, the response has been extraordinary — over 80 exhibitors and more than 25 speakers across four stages are ready to showcase their depth of skill, knowledge, and passion in our region.
Event highlights include:
• Summit Stage (Main Pavilion): Talks from leading voices in rural health, farm safety, animal care, water quality, and farm management.

• Main Oval: Live drone demonstrations.
• Flavours of the Farm (Dairy Pavilion): Tastings, local producers, demos, and fascinating talks.
• Show Ring Ready: Experts show how to prepare your animals for success in the show ring.
