Moments for Grown-Ups Too
While the kids explore and giggle away, grown-ups can pause and savour the day. Step into their own kind of magic, a place to sip, to laugh, to dance, and just unwind. From quiet corners and sparkling drinks to songs that drift and moments that wink, there’s a little grown-up wonder waiting too.
Food, Treats, and Delights
There’ll be a Tasting Station bringing flavour and flair, a feast-filled corner with goodness to share. From The Pantry’s famous bites to the Sweet Emporium’s sugar-high sights, every tastebud’s in for pure delight. Expect creamy, crunchy, moreish treats from some of SA’s best chefs and partners too – flavours to savour, old and new.
And when it’s time for a sip or two, The Bar Extravaganza’s waiting for you – with funtails, floats, and cocktails divine, all in the magic of family time.
Magical Beings
and Hidden Surprises
All through the fest, the magic peeks – you’ll meet whimsical characters and twinkles and treats. They’ll wander, twirl, and make you smile, spreading magic with every mile.

The Magical Marble Family Fest Main Stage
The heart of the festival comes alive with song, story, and shine – where characters dance and magic intertwines. Twice a day, the wonder peaks: once at sunset and once after dark – as lights, sound, and smiles ignite the park. Goosebumps guaranteed (the good kind).
The Magical Marble Forest Theatre Stage
Tucked between the trees, this is where stories breathe and magic hums to life, a world of music, laughter, and wonder that cuts through the everyday like a knife. Families gather, imaginations soar, with theatre, comedy, and characters to adore. From playful shows to surprises unseen, the forest comes alive with joy for every age in between.

And That’s Only the Beginning…
There’s still SO MUCH MORE to see and do, a world of magic waiting for you. But some things can’t be told or sold, they can only be felt when the magic unfolds…
