Trentham comes alive with the legendary Street Fair held in the heart of town on Saturday, May 3, 10am to 4pm during the town’s annual Spudfest.

It’s a great time to explore four main precincts, packed full of spud food, fresh regional produce, a local
makers market, live music, and the Spud Olympics.

Grab a bag of famous Trentham potatoes, direct from local growers. Bus tours of the district’s heritage-protected Spud Huts also run throughout the day.

Saturday evening brings the Spudfest Cèilidh, a family-friendly celebration of Celtic music, food, and dancing.

Or famished festival-goers can join local chef Annie Smithers for an exclusive four-course potato feast at her famous Trentham restaurant Du Fermier. Tickets tend to get snapped up fast.

Jenna Bruton carries her family’s farming heritage with pride. As part of a four-generation Trentham spud farm family and an AFLW premiership player for North Melbourne, she understands the power of hard work, resilience and community.

Jenna’s family will be selling their spuds at The Great Trentham Spudfest Railway Precinct on Saturday and at the Spud Hub on Sunday.

Trentham’s beloved annual festival is back on May 3 and 4, serving up a weekend packed with spud-filled fun. 

The Great Trentham Spudfest isn’t just about potatoes (okay, maybe it mostly is) – it’s also a celebration of the vibrant Trentham community spirit and proud potato- growing heritage. 

Once a shy, humble tuber hiding underground, the potato finally gets its moment in the sun, basking in the spotlight with festivities dedicated to its starchy greatness and showcasing the very best this spudtacular region has to offer. 

This year, there are two days of fun-filled events, with activities for all ages, held against the backdrop of spectacular autumn colour.
