The Werribee Craft Festival is a not-for-profit organisation that has been giving back and supporting local charities and the Wyndham community for the past 48 years. The Festival started in 1978 in Centenary Hall with help of the Council and when this was earmarked for development, the Events Centre became our new home in 1989, with a couple of years at Wyndham City Civic Centre then back to Encore.

The Craft Festival Committee prides itself in ensuring the standard of the handcrafted items available each year is of the highest quality; it allows the local crafters somewhere to both promote and sell their goods. Because of this high standard over the years, we have attracted visitors from all areas of the state. The excellence of the handcrafts that are available at the Craft Festival is what brings people back year after year.

Every year we find there are people visiting the Craft Festival from not only all over Melbourne, but from country areas and interstate. Now people are planning visits to Wyndham to coincide with the Craft Festival. Having survived through many difficult times (having to cancel 2 Festivals during Covid 19), we have become an important part of the Wyndham City Calendar that everyone young and old alike looks forward to attending each year.
