The Deans Marsh Festival is an annual celebration of the Deans Marsh and district community. Orginally a Gymkahna, which merged into a Pioneer Festival, this celebratory day has been held at the end of March since 1994.

The day showcases regional market stall holders, local food, wine & art. There is loads of entertainment for all ages including Country Fete Games, The Deans Marsh Gift, famous Dog Jump, the infamous Sheaf Toss and more!
