The Kalorama Chestnut Festival returns to the Dandenong Ranges on 3 May.
For more than 30 years the event has offered a celebration of the chestnut season.
Hosted by the Mount Dandenong Preschool and Primary School, the festival will feature plenty of stalls selling locally made handcrafts, a variety of food including roasted chestnuts, poffertjes and home made cakes.
Visitors can grab a sausage sizzle lunch and try some artisan beer, mulled wine or a tea or coffee.
There’ll be plenty of activities for kids, such as various rides for all ages, old fashioned kids games, petting zoos, reptile display, live entertainment and music.
Chestnuts have been grown in Australia for more than 100 years and offer high fibre and vitamin C whether they’re boiled, roasted or fried.
Chestnuts are synonymous with autumn in the Dandenong Ranges, so what better way to kick off the new season than by visiting the Kalorama Chestnut Festival.
