Mary Poppins Festival

"The magic begins with a story" at the Mary Poppins Festival. The annual event celebrates the power of storytelling and sets the scene for visitors to be transformed into their own world of play and imagination. Maryborough's beautiful Queens Park, riverside parklands and heritage streetscapes come to life in scenes reminiscent of the Mary Poppins stories. It is the birthplace of Mary Poppins author P. L Travers whose beloved novels were brilliantly adapted for the popular Disney movie of the same name and the award-winning musical. Step into a whimsical world of storytelling with a variety of engaging activities, workshops, performances, and live entertainment for the whole family to enjoy. Make sure to dress up and participate in the Australian Book of Records Attempt for the Largest Gathering of People Dressed as Mary Poppins-Themed Characters!
