Sandy Festival is making a grand return for ALWAYS LIVE End of The Line, presented in partnership with Metro Trains, to bring the streets of Sandringham to life with a free, family-friendly celebration of all things community.

Come and experience all things Sandringham, at the 2023 Sandy Festival. Village streets will be open to pedestrians only, with live music on not one stage but two. There will be street performers, rides, market stalls, face painting, chalk art, a visit from Santa, food and lots more all through the streets of Sandy Village. ⁠

Plus enjoy live performances by Clare Bowditch, Blanco Tranco, Pirritu and Sophia J Smith and food and drink provided by local vendors. Jump on the Sandringham Line and enjoy the party! This event is part of ALWAYS LIVE 2023, a state-wide celebration of contemporary live music supported by the Victorian Government through Visit Victoria.
