Olives to Oil

Next date: Saturday, 17 May 2025 | 12:00 PM to 04:00 PM

Freshly picked olives, ready for the next step in the journey to olive oil.

Run in partnership with CERES, this annual event welcomes City of Whittlesea residents to harvest olives and have them pressed communally into delicious, local olive oil. A festival to celebrate the harvest is free for anyone to attend, and will include music, workshops, stalls, and fun activities for the kids.

To ensure your olives are accepted, you must book a drop-off time and have proof you are a City of Whittlesea resident. Each ticket entitles you to bring up to 20kg of olives (equivalent to about 2L of olive oil) and you may book multiple tickets if you have more.
