A spring festival of free family-friendly events, workshops and art about slowing down, reconnecting with nature, and exploring sustainability in creative ways.
Spring is a great time to stop, take a breath and RESET.
RESET is a festival for greener living held at Fed Square during September and October.
As the flowers bloom and the days get longer, we can spring clean our thinking, with refreshed ideas from zero waste experts and gardening gurus.
We can slow down, get our hands dirty and reconnect with nature, art and our community, in creative ways.
And we can renew a commitment to everyday sustainable action.
It’s all about making a real and positive difference, together, for a healthier, happier planet.
RESET features the return of much-loved events and brand-new experiences.
A highlight of the program new this year is Planting Party, a day of entertainment, celebration and inspiration centred on planting and propagation.
Favourites returning this year are the Zero Waste Festival and the Big Toy Swap, focused on helping people reduce waste in practical ways, and community days of connection and grassroots action, for World Cleanup Day and World Rivers Day.
The Test Garden Open Days also return this spring with a new program of talks and artist-led workshops, and outdoor cinema on the Big Screen is back, with green-themed family-friendly favourites planned for the school holidays.
Plan your spring adventure at Fed Square and RESET your habits for the good of the planet.
