Hookey Park came alive on Sunday 17 March as hundreds of people flocked to the annual Celebrate Mooroolbark festival.

From a vintage car display, live music and lawn games to a baking competition, food stalls and local organisations engaging with the community, there was so much to see and do.

The heat certainly didn’t deter people from heading out for the day to explore the festival, with Star Mail photographer Stewart Chambers there to capture some of the joy being had.

Another successful year for the festival, organisers were extremely appreciative of the attendance and help provided.

“The Celebrate Mooroolbark Team thanks each and every person who was involved today. You all helped make our event so wonderful, fun, memorable and successful,” the team posted to socials.

“Whether you attended as a guest, were behind the scenes, on the stage, selling your goods, helping us stay safe and hydrated, or were a valued sponsor and everything in between we thank you.”
