What's On in Sunbury

About events in Sunbury

Sunbury sits on the edge of Melbourne’s urban fringe, balancing a relaxed country-town feel with the convenience of the city nearby. We find broad leafy streets, a welcoming community spirit and a backdrop of rolling hills. Locals and visitors alike enjoy the slower pace, heritage buildings and a lively main street. Sunbury’s long association with Australian wine is still celebrated, with nearby vineyards and cellar doors offering a taste of the region’s rural charm.

Events in Sunbury often centre around family-friendly fairs, markets, sports, live music and food. Community halls, historic homesteads and local pubs provide spaces for gatherings, while parks and reserves host outdoor festivals and weekend activities. Getting here is straightforward. Sunbury is about 40 minutes by train from Southern Cross Station, or an easy drive along the Calder Freeway. Once here, we find that Sunbury’s sense of community and connection to the land make every event feel genuinely local.
