Welcome message from the Festival Committee
The Manjimup Cherry Harmony Festival committe welcomes you to the 2025 festival!
The Mission of the Manjimup Cherry Harmony Festival is to provide the ultimate celebration of cherries, local produce and entertainment which will enhance the profile of the Southern Forests region and recognises harmony within its communities. The harmony component is still a key point due to the tumultuous history of the town’s industries. The resilience of the community needs to be celebrated and we need to recognise what the community still has to offer, in spite of the many challenges in recent history.

Vision
The vision of the Manjimup Cherry Harmony Festival Committee was, and is to be the best event within the Warren Blackwood region attracting local, national, and international visitors. ​
​The Manjimup Cherry Harmony Festival is a very successful annual community event. It has developed into a positive and harmonious Festival to attend in the beautiful Southern Forests Region of Western Australia, and it belongs to the community. It is held on the second Saturday in December annually.
In 2025 the Festival celebrated its 24th year. (In 2023 the Manjimup Cherry Harmony Festival presented Manjimup Markets and More). During the lifespan of the Festival, it has seen continuous growth in both attendance and recognition. In achieving this growth, the Festival has retained the cherry as its central theme for all events.
The Cherry Festival weekend commences on Friday 12 December (evening), followed by Saturday 13 December Cherry Harmony Festival day, Saturday 13 December (evening) Long Table Dinner and Sunday 14 December, the popular Very Cherry Brekkie.
The Committee always encourages local businesses to run satellite events to enhance the Cherry Festival weekend. In doing this, visitors coming to the area have a variety of different events and venues to attend and are able to taste the wonderful foods that are grown in the Southern Forests region.
​
We encourage participation of local community groups including sporting teams, dance studios, cultural groups, musicians, artists, not-for-profits, and school groups to use the festival as a medium to showcase their skills and knowledge. ​​
​
The festival committee members are volunteers whom donate their time and expertise for the success of the festival. The festival is heavily reliant on volunteers before, during, and after the event to ensure it runs smoothly. We extend our gratitude and appreciation to all that contribute to making the Manjimup Cherry Harmony Festival the exceptional event that it is, and extend an invitation to join our volunteer workforce to guarantee many more festivals in the future.
​
We are sure that you will find the 2025 Manjimup Cherry Harmony Festival an absolute delight!
