The magic begins with a story!
Celebrate the art of storytelling and be transported into a world full of play and imagination at the Mary Poppins Festival.
Maryborough’s heritage streetscapes and riverside parks are transformed through a storytelling program that transcends genres and presents a mix of art, culture, music and literature.
This free event is guaranteed to delight both young and the young at heart, with festival favourites, chimney sweeping, nanny races and the grand parade plus street food vendors, market stalls, rides, pavement art and live entertainment.
Come dressed in your Mary Poppins finery and become part of Maryborough’s history!
Maryborough’s Queens Park and Portside Heritage Precinct provide the perfect setting for the festival with a range of other magical Mary experiences guaranteed to delight both young and old.
Participate in festival favourite events such as chimney sweeping, nanny races, the grand parade and many more!
The art of storytelling extends beyond the Mary Poppins Festival here on the Fraser Coast. Check these year round activities.
