Love Earlwood – Meet You at the Plateia Festival 2026
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for the Love Earlwood Festival!
Earlwood came alive with music, food, entertainment, community activities, local businesses, market stalls and plenty of family fun.
From delicious food and cultural experiences to incredible performances and a buzzing atmosphere, it was fantastic to see the community come together and celebrate everything that makes Earlwood such a special place.
A big shoutout to our local businesses, stallholders, performers, community groups, sponsors and partners who helped bring the festival to life. Check out the images below!
The Love Earlwood Festival returns Saturday 18 September 2027.
