ADVENTURE AWAITS AT
THE NEXT OGPS
APPLE FAIR
MARCH 2027
Unforgettable fun for Kids, families, & the community
The Ocean Grove Apple Fair is our school’s biggest day of the year!
A jam-packed celebration of rides, games, music, markets and mouth-watering food [yes, including the famous twisty potatoes] AND A NEW FAVOURITE THE WORKERS BBQ [DROOL].
It's a day where families come together, kids run wild, and every ticket, treat and laugh helps raise funds for projects that make a real difference at our school.
Think of it as the ultimate combo: community spirit + carnival vibes
= a day you won't forget.
RIDES & FUn TIMES
Big kids (and brave parents) jump, spin and surf their way through crowd favourites like the Meltdown, the Cha Cha, and our brand new mechanical surfboard. which quickly became a crowd favourite (and yes, the queue proved it)
For the pips, things stay sweet with the ever-loved petting zoo, tea cups, craft activities and a soft play zone, giving the littlies their own space to safely soak up the fun.
Looking ahead to 2027, you can expect all the favourites to return… and a few new surprises in the mix.
AUCTIONS
Our Auctions are one of the biggest highlights of the Apple Fair and a major driver behind the projects our kids benefit from year after year.
For 2027, we’LL bring back our newly beloved Tradie & Services Auction. Turns out bidding on someone else to do your jobs is wildly popular, alongside our much-loved Silent Auction.
Thanks to local businesses, families and tradies, our combined auction total for 2026 REACHED OVER $17,000.
our auctions are always packed with standout offerings. From bucket-list experiences and Melbourne getaways to original artwork and in-demand services from skilled local trades, there’s something for everyone.
If you’d like to donate an item, experience or service for 2027, we’d love to hear from you.
LIVE MUSIC
The Apple Fair stage was a standout in 2026. showcasing some of Ocean Grove’s finest local talent, with THE Madhouse headlining and drawing crowds in from well beyond the school gates.
OUR stage, SPONSORED BY NAES [NATIONAL AUTOMOTIVE EQUIPMENT SERVICES] delivered the soundtrack to a full day of rides, raffles and fair-day fun.
It also played host to the Live Tradie Auction, which quickly became a crowd favourite, bringing plenty of laughs, lively bidding and serious community spirit.
With an incredible mix of emerging local talent, returning favourites and high-energy performances, the stage brought the whole fair to life.
Looking ahead to 2027, you can expect the good vibes to continue, and we’re already planning how to top it in 2027.
OUR MARKET
Back by popular demand, the Apple Fair Market returned bigger than ever in 2026, and it delivered!
We brought together an incredible line-up of local makers and small businesses.
Returning favourites like Ocean Rentals Boutique (serving up racks of pre-loved gems), Lard Ass Butter (slinging the good stuff), Blossom and Bloom (candles and good vibes), Potion Playground (magic in a jar for the kids) and Little Things Cookies were back for another year and just as popular.
We also welcomed some brilliant new faces, including Lauren Humberstone Photography and Tom’s Trousers, whose handmade terry towelling pieces sold out before the day was done.
From unique gifts and homewares to tasty treats and clever creations, the market was a standout on the day and a beautiful way to support our local community.
Looking ahead to 2027, we’re already planning an even bigger Line-up… so come ready to wander, shop and fall in love with a few new favourites.
