Bushy Creek Makers’ Fair
Bushy Creek Makers’ Fair brings together local makers, musicians, performers, growers and storytellers for a weekend celebrating creativity and community in the beautiful landscape of Julatten.
Wander through handmade stalls, enjoy live music, discover workshops and share good food with neighbours and visitors alike.
Why Bushy Creek Makers’ Fair exists
The Fair is a volunteer-led community event celebrating handmade craft, local produce, music and connection - all the skills and generosity that live in small communities.
We believe in:
Handmade over mass-produced
Local musicians and performers
