Rotary Clubs of Gawler Village Fair 2022

The Rotary Village Fair is returning to Pioneer Park at the northern end of Murray Street on Saturday November 5th after the 2020 and 2021 fairs were cancelled due to Covid.

It was first held in 1976 and is organised and run by the Rotary Clubs of Gawler and Gawler Light with support from the Town of Gawler.

The aim of the Village Fair is to enable local organisations to raise much needed funds and showcase their activities to the wider community. Participation for community groups is free and participants retain all their takings. Public entry is also free.
A large range of organisations take part in the Village Fair.

Stalls sell food and drink, local produce, plants, trees and shrubs, arts and crafts, novelties and a large range of second hand items.
Entertainment and demonstrations included the Gawler Town Band, the Gymnastic Club, the Dog Obedience Club and the Gawler Car Club. From time to time, school bands and other local groups also provide entertainment.

The Rotary Clubs and the Gawler Art Society in conjunction with local schools organise a junior art exhibition which has been particularly successful.

Since its inception, the Village Fair has enabled groups to raise over $600,000. Locals and visitors alike acknowledge that the Village Fair is a great event that has played and will continue to play an important role in the social and community fabric of the town of Gawler.
