Get ready for Knit-Fest 2023!

Knit-fest is an free exciting 3 day Yarn & Fibre Arts Fair, held between July 1st and 3rd, 2023, celebrating fibre arts and crafts, embracing the whole community of Maleny. Malenyites can yarnbomb and decorate Maleny so the town becomes a centre of art, creativity, yarnbombing, workshops, music, trade stalls and craft markets.

It is a magical festival for families to discover new skills, talents and creativity using fibre arts including knitting, crochet, basket weaving, spinning and weaving, felting and lots more.

The theme for 2023 is “Wild Women” and will be held in conjunction with the Maleny RSL, The Flexi School and Maleny and Conondale state schools and the River school.

Knit-fest features competitions for community groups, art associations and skilled artisans to decorate trees in our beautiful streetscapes with handmade art installations made of yarn and fibre. There are also several smaller competitions for the Best Beanie, Scarf, Shawls, Tea Cosy etc. There’s great prizes too!.

Organiser, Deb Swain said that this could be the final year for Knit-fest because of the ever increasing cost of public liability insurance and other costs.
