CELEBRATE GRIFFITH SPRING FEST THIS OCTOBER

It’s Spring in Griffith which can only mean one thing, it’s time to celebrate the sunshine and sea of colour that is Griffith Spring Fest.
Griffith’s flagship festival runs from 8 October to 22 October 2023 and features the eye-catching Real Juice Company Citrus Sculpture display, six vibrant gardens created by talented locals and a whole host of other exciting experiences.
Help officially kick off Spring Fest at the LINX Launch Party on 13 October 2023 at the Griffith Tourism Hub Car Park where you can indulge in local food, wine and beer while enjoying entertainment by the sculptures.
Banna Avenue will be a sea of orange, with 60 unique sculptures welcoming visitors over two weeks. Witness this remarkable display made from over 100,000 locally grown oranges and grapefruit, by wandering through the sculptures. You might even see a talking robot, reclining chook, horse and cart or a giant giraffe. Be sure to share your experience by tagging @griffithspringfest and using #griffithspringfest
