The Thorpdale Potato Festival celebrates the long history of potato farming in the Thorpdale district, nestled in the beautiful foothills of the Strzelecki Ranges in Gippsland, Victoria.
The Festival is a fun-filled day for all of the family – there’s music, food, kids entertainment, fashion, photography, cooking demonstrations and the ever-popular ‘potato races’.
And the best part – all profits from the event are reinvested back into the community!
