Granny Smith Festival
The 2022 Granny Smith Festival was bigger than ever, with an estimated crowd of some 100,000 people turning out for a sunshine-filled celebration at the heart of Eastwood.
Held on Saturday 15 October, the festival featured old favourites and new activities, with amusement rides, market stalls, food trucks, fireworks, performances, youth zone and kids activities. The Batlow Cider Bar on Eastwood Oval was a big hit, offering free cider tastings, apple seltzers and more.
Thank you to the local businesses, sporting and service organisations, schools and the wider community for your continuous support.
We look forward to bringing you another amazing festival in 2023!
The annual Granny Smith Festival celebrates the life and legacy of one of our district’s most famous citizens, Maria Ann Smith - aka Granny Smith - who, back in 1868, ‘accidentally’ grew the first batch of little green apples that bear her name and are now grown all over the world.
The Granny Smith Festival began in 1985 and is now regarded as one of Sydney’s largest street festivals, a true community carnival, full of colour and good old fashioned fun. It attracts over 90,000 each year and is supported by local businesses, sporting and service organisations, schools and the wider community.
