Agfest features over 700 exhibitors and has something for everyone. Attractions include agricultural machinery, banking and finance, machinery, hardware and small equipment, leisure, automotive, clothing and home wares, food, horticulture and viticulture and livestock.

An open access festival presents theatrical performances wherever they can: a park, a backyard, a bedroom, an elevator, a swimming pool, a street, a train, anywhere, except a traditional theatre.
Kicking off to huge success in 2011 and featuring cabaret, circus, comedy, drama, site specific theatre and kids theatre the Anywhere Theatre Festival is innovative and fun.
Anywhere Theatre Festivals Paul Osuch, “Story telling began as something we did around camp fires and over time it has been ghettoed inside traditional theatre venues and the structures that go with them.
Anywhere Theatre Festival Limited’s mission is to brazenly strip away the elitism of ‘going to the theatre’ to reconnect audiences and communities with theatre, with story telling and with performance… anywhere.”
Moondyne Festival celebrates the life of Moondyne Joe, Western Australia's legendary bushranger Moondyne Joe.
Moondyne Joe is infamous throughout Western Australia as a convict, an escapee and a hero from the bush. Not quite a bushranger but worse then the average horse thief.
Joe's main claim to fame was his ability to escape prison, despite a special reinforced cell having been constructed to keep him in.
The Festival is held on the first Sunday of May each year. Join in the fun with Moondyne Joe as he runs around town, robbing shops, escaping custody and being a general menace. Obviously in a reenactment of sorts.
There will be "Joe's Gang", coppers, floozies, swaggies and the town crier. There is 1860's regiment, wood chopping, blacksmith, wood turning, art exhibition, antique collectors fair, car club display, children's activities, circus and town fair.
Toodyay’s Moondyne Festival is a family focused fun day with the entertainment non stop from 9am to 4pm.
