Take a market tour to get the most out of local foodie experiences, watch local produce demos and sample the region’s best seasonal flavors. Plus, back by popular demand, the Salami Competition allows you watch as local makers go head-to-head to see whose salami reigns supreme. Attendees can find their flow with yoga sessions and marvel at aerial silks performances, before the sun sets to set the stage for a mesmerizing fire performance and close the evening with a spark! The festival is proud to support local community groups, including the Wandiligong Primary School, 4 Kids and Carers, Bright Men's Shed, Alpine Multi Skill Group and the Hotham Ski Patrol. The Wandiligong Nut Festival wouldn’t be possible without the generous support of major sponsors: Alpine Shire, Bright Community Bank, Nightingales Alpine Produce.
