Bringing together residents, families, businesses, innovators and environmental leaders, the Fair is designed to spark real, practical action while celebrating the power of community.

Running from 10am to 5pm, this full-day event offers a lively mix of inspiring talks, hands-on activities, entertainment and opportunities to connect. Entry is free and visitors can expect a welcoming, festival-like atmosphere filled with ideas, creativity and optimism.
From interactive exhibits and expert panels to music, dance, poetry and an upcycled fashion catwalk, the Fair blends learning with fun – making it accessible and engaging for all ages.
