For the first time in two years, the annual Cracker Carnival is returning on Saturday, September 17.
After COVID forced the well-loved event to be cancelled for the last two years, Murray Farm Public School’s 48th annual Cracker Carnival has been resurrected with all the crowd favourites.
“There’s a very exciting buzz in the community and the students who are old enough to remember it are eager to see it return,” Cracker Carnival Convener Belinda Turco said.
“Students who have left the school have all made plans to reunite with their friends at this wonderful community event, and even the staff at our school are excited to be working with the parents again and do something for our community.”
The community will be able to come together to enjoy a wide range of cuisine from across Asia, with kid-friendly favourites chicken nuggets, drumsticks and chips also available.
Supported by local gourmet butcher Beef Bullion, the BBQ will be serving “mouth-watering” roast pork rolls from the rotisserie after 5pm, with sausage sandwiches available all day.
Murraycino’s will be back with its piping hot barista brewed coffee, cakes and sweets. Kids will also enjoy sampling fairy floss and seeing it shaped into amazing creations by the team.
Along with the wide range of food options available, amusements, rides, white elephant stalls, kid’s activities and games will run throughout the event from 2pm to 8pm.
And, of course, it wouldn’t be a Cracker Carnival without its “legendary” fireworks display at 7pm.
