Each year Council celebrates Australia Day at the Picton Botanic Gardens with official ceremonies and family friendly activities.

Established in 1990, Wollondilly is one of the few local Councils still organising and providing a garden competition for the local community. There are lots of categories to enter and prizes to be won!

Enjoy a family day out all about our four-legged friends with live demonstrations, speakers, markets, activities and a visitor from Dr Katrina and the Wonderdogs.

Local residents, business and community groups are encouraged to showcase their Christmas spirit and enter the annual lights competition.

The village of Thirlmere comes alive with the sound of steam where visitors can enjoy heritage steam train rides, parade, live entertainment, kids carnival, markets & more.

Green thumbs rejoice in this immersive event celebrating and educating all things gardens and plants. There are also market stalls, kids activities & more.

Join the largest celebration for seniors in the southern hemisphere! The festival is all about trying something new, meeting new people and having a great time at free and discounted activities across Wollondilly.

See the town of Picton light up with amazing light displays, parade, markets, performers and more over 3 action packed days.
