Way back in 2015, some of you will remember the awesome Donkey Festival held at Wesburn Park.

It was a great day out and UYPC are so very happy to welcome it back next year.

Pop it in your diary as a must-see event, the 2024 Yarra Ranges Donkey Festival will be held in Wesburn Park on Sunday 21 January 2024.

If you would like to be involved and/or bring your donkeys, please contact ‘The Donkey Shop’.

There will be classes for donkey owners, and lots of amazing things to see and be a part of.

Mules are also absolutely welcome and celebrated.

There will also be a great live band to close the day.

Other dates for 2024 Wesburn Park grounds bookings are filling up very quickly, so if your Club or organisation is considering hiring the

grounds for an event, please contact the Upper Yarra Pony Club as soon as possible, itlooks like a very eventful year coming up.

Happy Riding everyone.
