WHAT'S ON
The Entertainment Program for 2025 is now complete & can be viewed in the link below.
For the Kids
Fun, fun, Fun
This year we will again have a Kermis (Carnival) and a $10 entry ticket for children, entitles them to unlimited rides all day. 4 jumping castles, children’s games, sjoelbak (with some great prizes) and more. The rides will be inside the pavilion so weather will not be an issue. For a small extra charge, there will be: VR experiences & Face Painting. Teenagers will also be asked to pay $10 for entry and for that they will be able to compete in the Sjoelbak competition (multiple times) for great prizes and we are working on more. They will love the VR rides.
Margreta
Master of Ceremonies
This year’s musical program will be hosted by Margreta Kuijper. She is superfamiliar with the Holland Festival, having attended her first one in 1995, three weeks after setting foot on Australian soil. You may have seen Margreta as one of the musicians in the Zuiderkruis dutch popband at Holland Festival 2020 and 2023. She was our MC in 2024 and is looking forward to repeating this year.
Ben Plunkett

Rotary Casey Imm. Past President and musician, Ben Plunkett, will again be the Entertainment Manager in 2025. Ben has 3 main passions in life: photography, travel and music. His business, Plunkett Media, serves his first passion. He has travelled to 8 countries so far and looking forward to travelling somewhere new very soon! Ben isn’t performing currently (his claim to fame is performing on stage to a packed Fed Square in 2011) but loves playing drums and singing when he gets the chance. Ben’s really looking forward to seeing everyone perform and the event as a whole
