South of Adelaide in the centre of the Fleurieu Peninsula, South Australia, the Willunga Basin spreads from the hills to the sea.  Willunga is a small country town, rich in history and filled with character and friendly people.

Enjoy the weekly and monthly markets, festivals, fairs, productions, exhibitions and concerts.  Visit during the international events of the Tour Down Under and the Adelaide Classic Car Rally or for Willunga's major community event, the annual Willunga Almond Blossom Festival.  Stay a few days in the quality bed and breakfast accommodation and sit back in a cosy eatery and taste the local produce.

Nestled between and only minutes from National Parks in the hills and some of Australia's best swimming beaches, Willunga is a wonderful place to visit and WillungaFestivals.com welcomes you and hopes that this site prompts you to visit Willunga soon...

Willunga Family Orchestra needs you!

Concert master Wendy Dyson is sending out an SOS for the Willunga Family Orchestra (formerly known as the Willunga Youth Orchestra).  They are currently in rehearsals for their popular August concert and a series of concerts in the Fleurieu peninsula.  They are in desperate need of some brass and woodwind players, as several of last years players have moved on to other local orchestras and productions.  Rehearsals are on Saturday mornings in the school term from 11am to 12MD at Cooinda, corner of Methodist Street and St Andrew’s Terrace.  The orchestra plays a lively collection of pieces and is great experience for players of ALL ages.  Wendy would love to hear from you.

Enquiries to Wendy Dyson – 0418 844 356.
