Preserve My Harvest - Social Food Project
Wednesday 18 March
Darebin Arts Centre Kitchen
Preserve my Harvest is a community project dedicated to reducing waste by turning underutilised food into delicious pickles, preserves and ferments!
Join us at the Darebin Arts Centre on 18 March where qualified chefs will teach you how to preserve, pickle and/or ferment your fresh produce. Over three hours, you can spend time with the chef learning how to create a range of pickles, jams, tomato sauces, relishes or ferments - whatever is best suited to the produce you have.
We bring the jars, labels, cooking equipment and all preserving ingredients needed to create shelf-stable products. All you need to bring is fresh produce from your garden. If you aren’t growing anything right now, don’t worry - we will bring along enough seasonal fruits and vegetables for everyone.
Invite some friends to make it a preserving party!
This event is part of Darebin City Council's inaugural FUSE Festival

Exhibition: Festivals Past
23-29 March 2020

From housing an unrivalled number of theatres and picture houses way back in its industrial past, to undertaking one of the most ambitious public art programs in Australia shortly after the City’s incorporation in the 1990s, Darebin has earned an impressive reputation for its commitment to its creative community.
Arguably the jewel in the creative crown has been Darebin’s multitude of arts and cultural festivals, enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of residents and tourists alike.
As Darebin comes alive for its newest festival, FUSE, we offer a retrospective exhibition highlighting some of the memorable moments from Darebin's festival history.
Featuring historic images and poster art, this exhibition is a must for anyone who has danced, laughed, sung, explored, partied and delighted in Darebin festivals over the years.
