2009 Daffodil & Arts Festival

Visitors will be greeted by thousands of daffodils at the entry to the town when they travel to Kyneton for the Daffodil & Arts Festival from Sept 3rd to the 13th 2009. 

 Kyneton has happily taken the daffodil as its signature flower and has celebrated it with the annual Festival each year since 1973.  Barrows of daffodils line the shopping centre and decorated shop windows will reflect this year’s theme ‘Heart of Gold’.

 The Kyneton Horticultural Spring Flower Show displays a stunning selection of daffodils, floral arrangements and cut flowers to delight visitors on the first weekend and there are many gardens open to visitors throughout the Festival.   

Floral displays will again fill the recently renovated interior of historic bluestone St Paul’s Church on the second weekend of the Festival. 

The Daffodil Art Prize and the Cancer Council’s Art Exhibition add to other art and photography exhibitions throughout the town.  Visitors can take a walk to see the many sculptures on the riverwalk and visit the galleries and exhibitions of art, craft and photography along the art trail.  

Ferret Racing, a town-wide sidewalk sale and buskers provide fun on the first Saturday when there will be great shopping throughout the town.  

Visitors return to enjoy traditional favourites - the Festival of One Act Plays and the Kyneton Antique Fair.  A great midweek community concert with well known artists and other musical events is not to be missed.

An exciting addition to the Festival this year is the Alpaca Fiesta when alpaca breeders will converge on Kyneton on Sat Sept 12.  Last held in Kyneton some four years ago, it will feature animals for sale, open forums for people getting started, halter training with an Alpaca ‘Whisperer’ – alpaca craft work and demonstration of alpaca produce.

 Other Festival favourites include the Old Time Ball, Paramoor Fayre, Art and Craft Show and Kyneton Farmers and CWA Craft Markets, along with a Fun Run, midweek horse racing and a cycle challenge. There will also be fringe activities at our neighbouring town, Malmsbury. 

The Festival winds up with the truly Grand Parade and Street Fair on Sept 13.
