Sunbury is famous for Festivals.From 1972 to 1974 Sunbury was host to
Australia's most successful Pop / Rock Festivalever.
The Sunbury Pop Festival, which ran from 1972 to 1975, is often regarded as a milestone in Australian music for many reasons. It was also known to some as the Sunbury Rock Festival,
Australia's
Woodstockand Sunbury's Woodstock Festival. This festival will always be remembered in history books not only in
Australia's but throughout the world.
The Sunbury Community Festival 'SunFest' (originally the Sunbury Fair) first started in 1977 by a group of Sunbury volunteers. After the Sunbury Pop / Rock Festival finished in 1975, Sunbury was left with void in music festivals and after one year had lapsed with no festivals the Sunbury Fair began.
This group of volunteers wanted to bring to Sunbury an old fashion community fair free of charge to the people of Sunbury and its surrounds. Since this first event this festival has grown to be Sunbury's largest event.
Sunbury's largest community eventis a two day festival solely run by volunteers. This event is run over the 3rd weekend in March each year and is run for the benefit of the Sunbury community, it's sponsors and supporters.
