2026 School Fete

Harbord Uplift Fete 2026

The Harbord Uplift Fete is back! Join us for a fantastic day of rides, food, entertainment, markets and family fun as we bring together Harbord families and our wider Freshwater community.

This year, Uplift is about lifting our whole community — creating a day that is fun, welcoming and inclusive, with something for everyone.

We’re making the Fete more accessible with wheelchair and pram-friendly access, accessible toilets and change facilities, a dedicated Zen Zone supported by local paediatric OTs for quiet time and co-regulation, and a range of dietary options available throughout the day.

And for those feeling brave, don’t miss the OOSH Haunted House! 👻 Dreamed up and brought to life by our very own OOSH kids, it’s set to deliver plenty of spooky surprises.

Bring your family, friends and neighbours — everyone is welcome!

A huge thank you to our sponsors, local community, families and volunteers whose support makes Uplift possible.

Big fun. Brighter futures. One community. ❤️
