The St Leonards Festival now in its fifth year, is held on the
Saturday of the Melbourne Cup Weekend.
The Bellarine Art Show is also on in the town over the same weekend.

2009 St Leonard's Festival

We are focused on showcasing what St Leonards has to offer from local
artist and entertainers to local produce and craft, as well as trying
to include all community organisations in the festival. Another
important part of our plan is to showcase the history of our town and
region through photos and displays.
