Moocooboola Festival is the premier community event in Hunters Hill, attracting up to 15,000 visitors to Boronia Park Ovals.

Featuring rides, entertainment, colourful roving stilt walkers, displays, food stalls, a market bazaar, performances and a crowd-favourite dog show, Moocooboola Festival offers something for everyone.

With a nostalgic history dating back to its first staging at Hunters Hill Town Hall in 1980, the festival’s name derives from the traditional Wallumedegal term meaning the “meeting of the waters” and refers to the area where the Parramatta and Lane Cove rivers come together in Sydney.

The 2026 Moocooboola Festival will be held on Sunday 27 September 2026 from 10am - 4pm at Ovals 1 & 2 of Boronia Park Ovals. 

Check back in on this webpage for updated information concerning the next Moocooboola Festival closer to the date.
