Welcome to The Great Trentham Spudfest, where our tiny town turns big on spuds, smiles and good times.

Every Autumn, Trentham - 2025 winner of Australian's Top Tiny Tourism Town Award - comes alive with two days of delicious food, live music and artisan makers as we celebrate our people, our produce and the region.

SUPPORTING OUR LOCALS

Spudfest is all about community!

We back local businesses, help community groups raise funds, and celebrate everything that makes our region great. Every spud, every smile, every moment, it’s all about giving back to the people who make it happen.

SPUDFEST ON INSTAGRAM

From the rich volcanic soils that made Trentham one of Victoria’s prime potato-growing regions since the 1860s, to the heritage-protected spud huts where seasonal workers once lived during long harvests, this land tells a story worth celebrating 🥔✨

It’s a story of people, place and purpose that helped shape the local economy and community.

Today, that legacy lives on through The Great Trentham Spudfest, an annual two-day celebration where local growers, artisans, food vendors, music and history collide in the heart of town. Take home your own spuds from our local growers, heritage tours of the spud huts, the annual Spud Olympics, foodie trails and festivities showcasing the region’s finest produce - all rooted in a proud agricultural past.

We can’t wait to share our story with you. Stay peeled.

🥔 Get ready to celebrate the heart of our region! 🌾🎉

The Great Trentham Spudfest brings together local people, fresh produce and the rich agricultural roots of our region to celebrate our proud potato-growing tradition. A weekend of spuds, stories and small-town fun.

The festival has been around in some shape or form since 2008. Held during harvest season, Spudfest is always on the first weekend of May. It is our annual excuse to eat as many potatoes as humanly possible (not that we ever need one) - from crispy, creamy, cheesy creations to classic country favourites.

Sat 2 May | Street Fair
Sun 3 May | Discovery Day

Program + more info coming soon… stay peeled 👀🥔

🥔 Happy International Day of the Potato! 🥔

Today, we’re celebrating the humble spud in all its golden glory – crunchy, creamy, mashed or baked! It’s only the second year the world is officially celebrating our favourite tuber… but here in Trentham, we’ve been honouring the mighty potato for years and years.

A huge shoutout to the Trentham Spud Farming Legends who don’t just grow potatoes, they grow perfection. Not only are their spuds delicious, but let’s face it… they’re downright photogenic too.

Here’s to tradition, taste, and the power of the potato!

🌟 National Volunteers Week Shoutout!

We’re raising a big spud-tacular cheer for our incredible Spudbuddies – the heart and soul of The Great Trentham Spudfest 2025! 🥔💛

With a crew of around 40 dedicated Spudbuddies, these amazing volunteers rolled up their sleeves and brought the festival to life. From managing traffic flow and staffing the info and merchandise tents, to setting up (and packing down!) the entire event, running the buzzing Kids Zone, and cheering on the action at the Spud Olympics, their hard work and infectious enthusiasm made the magic happen across every corner of Spudfest.

👏 Special thanks to our amazing Volunteer Committee – the powerhouse behind the planning! From vendor applications to program co-ordination, to Spudbuddy wrangling and Square terminal troubleshooting, this dedicated team worked tirelessly behind the scenes all year to make sure every moment over the weekend ran smoothly. Your energy and passion was the glue that held the whole event together.

To every Spudbuddy who gave their time, energy, and heart – thank you. The success of the weekend wouldn’t have been possible without you and we are so proud to have such a generous, community-driven and potato-loving crew.
