2026 Country Fair
Kinross Wolaroi School Country Fair
Saturday 7 March | 10am - 3pm | Wolaroi Oval
The Kinross Wolaroi School Fair is one of the most anticipated events on our calendar, bringing together students, families, the Orange community and local businesses for a vibrant day of fun, food and entertainment. In 2026, the Fair will be extra special as we also celebrate 140 years of Kinross Wolaroi School — a remarkable milestone for our community. Join us for a day of celebration, connection and enjoyment for all ages.
Supporting our Community
The Country Fair is more than just a great day out — it’s about coming together to support our school and community. In 2026, funds raised will go towards creating a double-lane vehicle access from the Derek Pigot Auditorium through to Cox Avenue. This project will make school pick-up and drop-off safer, faster, and easier for everyone. Every ticket, raffle, and sausage sizzle helps us reach this goal!
Hold on tight — the rides are back and bigger than ever!
