The entertainment comes to you. With most festivals you must go to the entertainment, and we all know as traders that can be difficult if your busy serving all the customers who will be coming to your business, so we will send the entertainment to you in the form of a deconstructed parade. Starting a 11.30am and every 20 minutes there will be entertainment that will pass by your business, this will run until 4.30pm expect to see:
• Music
• Dance
• Community groups and more

Car Show 

The Bentleigh Festival will provide a full day of entertainment for all patrons. A full rundown of all entertainment will be published on November 1st.
