World Music Day in Killarney Heights
It’s time to get musical! Join us at Killarney Heights Public School for the 5th annual World Music Day in Killarney Heights on Sunday 21 June 2026 from 10am – 4pm.
With over a dozen participating schools, musical groups and buskers performing across 3 stages, there will be live music all day.
Stay for the food—enjoy barista coffee, a bake sale, sausage sizzle, boeuf bourguignon, crêpes, and treats for the kids. Families will love carnival rides and tombola games to keep everyone busy and having fun.
