As we wrap up another wonderful year for the Rotary Jacaranda Festival, we’d like to take a moment to reflect on what has been a truly special season for our community.
In this edition, we look back on some of our proudest achievements, with 2025 marking not only the 25th year of the Rotary Jacaranda Festival, but also our biggest year yet in terms of donations raised.

As always, every dollar raised through the festival goes directly back into supporting local community groups and initiatives — something we’re incredibly proud of and grateful for.
We hope the festive season gives you the chance to slow down, spend time with loved ones, and reflect on a wonderful year. Please take care, stay safe, and enjoy the special moments that come with this time of year.
From all of us at the Rotary Jacaranda Festival, we wish you a very happy Christmas and a safe, joyful New Year. We look forward to keeping you updated with more from the festival in the year ahead.

Jacaranda Festival Organiser & MarketLife Director

We’re incredibly grateful for the generous support that helps bring the Jacaranda Festival to life each year. Our major supporters, Lotterywest and the City of Melville, have played a vital role in the success of the event. Lotterywest has proudly supported the Festival for over 20 years, providing funding to the fullest extent of their charter. The City of Melville continues to be a longstanding partner, offering not only funding but also guidance and practical support that helps our community vision flourish.
We also extend our heartfelt thanks to our key local sponsors — The Good Grocer, Mont Property, Pharmacy 777, and Ross North Homes — for their commitment to the event and the local community.
In addition, we deeply appreciate the many local businesses who lend their support behind the scenes, from providing power and parking spaces to granting internal access that ensures the safety and comfort of our guests and performers. Your contributions make a real difference.
