Melbourne Highland Games & Celtic Festival 21 March 2027
Maroondah City Council (MCC): Through the Community Development Grants Scheme, the Maroondah City Council provided essential logistical support. This vital municipal funding allowed our volunteer team to safely implement extensive traffic management, comply with complex local security regulations, and secure the hire equipment required to transform Eastfield Park into a world-class arena.[1]
Victorian Scottish Heritage Cultural Federation (VSHCF): The VSHCF provided cultural grant funding dedicated to safeguarding and celebrating traditional Scottish heritage. Their financial support directly underwrote our premier piping, drumming, and highland dancing arenas, drawing elite performers to Maroondah and keeping the rich tapestry of Celtic performing arts thriving in Victoria.
Community Bank Ringwood East & Croydon (CBREC): As our premier local financial services partner, CBREC provided critical funding to support our extensive family footprint and youth engagement initiatives. Their investment directly enabled us to maintain free entry for children under 16, keeping our festival inclusive and accessible to the entire Maroondah municipality.
