Yakkerboo Festival

The annual Yakkerboo Festival is back, celebrating 50 years in 2026! Free entry, live music and 9pm fireworks. Carnival games, food trucks and rides are at Carnival Prices.
The Yakkerboo festival has been running since 1976, celebrating the Pakenham community, and celebrating 50 years in 2026. On Saturday night you can enter for free and enjoy live music on our stage sponsored by Cardinia Creative Community. Pick up some food from the food trucks and set up a picnic to watch the sunset and soak in the atmosphere. The carnival offers games and rides at carnival prices. Choose from a large number of rides for both younger riders and more adventurous thrill seekers. The finale of the evening is the spectacular Southern Cross fireworks display at 9pm.
