The Yarra Ranges Donkey Festival is set to make a triumphant return this month, nine years since its inception in 2015.
The event is the brainchild of Linda Jay, owner of the Donkey Shop in East Warburton, with the last edition raising funds for the Donkey Society of Victoria and the Upper Yarra SES Unit.
The event will be held on Sunday 21 January from 10am to 6pm at Wesbyrn Park.
Over 2000 people and 40 donkeys attended the 2015 festival. Attendees next year can also look forward to a live performance from zydeco band Harmaniax.
Anyone wanting to get involved in the event can contact Ms Jay at info@thedonkeyshop.com.au or (03) 5966 9091.
