Blacksmiths Festival

The Blacksmiths Festival is a free biennial community event that was started by Waterside in 2013. Since then, the event has grown to become one of the most celebrated events on the metal artist and local community calendars.

The festival is now run by a cohort of volunteers, under the banner of the Blacksmiths Festival Association Inc., and attracts thousands of attendees who come to enjoy a great and unique atmosphere in Melbourne's Inner West. Waterside remains a major supporter and sponsor for the festival.
