We are thrilled to announce the return of FUSE Darebin with an exciting one-day event Meet the Makers Picnic, scheduled for Saturday March 23rd, at the stunning Bundoora Homestead Art Centre.

Join us as we immerse ourselves in a vibrant celebration showcasing local talent, live music performances, DJ sets, and an array of activities suitable for all ages.  

At the heart of the event is the Makers Showcase, where local producers compete across various categories of homemade wine, beer, preserves and bread.  

Judged by esteemed local businesses such as Jamsheed Wines, La Siréne Brewing, Constante Imports, and Akimbo Bread, this friendly competition highlights the finest offerings from Darebin's makers. 

This long running and much-loved community event provides a unique opportunity to stroll through the showcase while sampling homegrown beverages and produce. Hear first-hand stories from the makers themselves and learn about their inspirations, techniques, and stories. 

Festivalgoers will have an opportunity to participate in the Aboriginal cultural experience with Aunty Brenda Fahey, which features hands-on activities like gum nut painting, dot painting on faces and rocks, storytelling, crafting with emu feathers and macramé. 

Attendees are invited to savour a curated selection of food and beverages available on-site or bring their own picnic baskets to enjoy amidst the picturesque setting of the Bundoora Homestead Art Centre.  

Price: Free. Registration encouraged.
