Celebrate Willmot Festival

February 10, 2026

Enjoy a fun day out with the family at the annual Willmot Festival!

The free community festival will take place at Willmot Reserve on Saturday, 24 September, with a range of activities and entertainment for the whole family to enjoy.

Festivalgoers can enjoy singing, dancing and live music from local artists, and there will also be rides, free face painting, a petting zoo, market stalls and delicious food.

“The Willmot Festival is a fantastic family day out which celebrates the community spirit that is alive and well in our City,” Blacktown City Mayor Tony Bleasdale OAM said.

“The suburb of Willmot is named after Thomas Willmot, who was the first President of Blacktown Shire Council in 1906.

“Today, Willmot is small but tight-knit community with residents from diverse backgrounds.

“The Willmot Festival gives residents the chance to celebrate their local community, it’s history and diversity, while also showcasing local talent and community pride.”

“The Willmot Festival is a great day for everyone, and best of all, it’s free.

“I look forward to seeing you there!” Mayor Bleasdale said

The Willmot Festival is brought to you by the Willmot Festival Committee and Blacktown City Council
