More than 40 artisan and intimate experiences and events are coming to the award-winning Hahndorf festival over the month of September.
Previously known as Hahndorf. Handmade. Handcrafted. Handpicked, this popular and successful festival has been renamed Hahndorf Immersed, rebranded and amplified to champion local artisans who are abundant in and around the main street of the historic South Australian village.
Event seekers of all ages and tastes can expect brand new events to join last year’s favourites, all of which fall under one or more of the six event categories: food & drink, art & craft, family fun, fashion & beauty, history & story-telling, workshops & masterclasses or if you simply love a free event.
