Enjoy an evening of food and entertainment for the whole family at the Fintona Festival.
The Fintona Festival, held every two years, has grown significantly over the past 15 years, and has become an incredibly popular community event.
We also welcome this year our Old Fintonians, who are still very much connected to the School as well as the many new families wanting to visit Fintona and enrol in future years.
The event will be held on Saturday 28 November 2026 from 4.00pm to 8.00pm.
The Festival combines the best of fine food, wine, boutique stalls, children’s amusements, an online auction, and live entertainment in a family friendly atmosphere.
Organised and co-ordinated by the Fintona Parents’ Association in conjunction with the School, the Festival is a fantastic event for the entire community to enjoy.

Money raised at this year’s Festival will go towards our much-anticipated Performing Arts Centre, a multi-use performance space for school assemblies, debates, music concerts and theatrical performances.
In addition to the functional auditorium, there will be a number of small and large rehearsal spaces for individuals and ensembles, drama and music classrooms and a large foyer that caters for events and functions.
Each Festival we have a Silent Auction that is an incredibly popular component of the Festival. Items include accommodation packages, household items, a variety of hampers, children’s toys and vouchers for restaurants and fun activities.
We use a site that allows users to see auction item descriptions, photos, and bidding information, to easily make a bid, once registered.
All donating individuals and businesses will receive recognition as a supporter on the Fintona Festival website, auction brochure, online auction portal GalaBid and in our e-newsletter.
If you are interested in donating an item, please email to Adele McIntosh, Development and Community Engagement Manager at amcintosh@fintona.vic.edu.au or phone 9830 1388.
