The festival has something for all ages and will be held on the Barclay Street Oval and other locations around town on April 3 and 4.
A traditional smoking ceremony, Indigenous dancers and an acknowledgement to country by 16-year-old Tarra Glover will be held at midday on Saturday.
The Royal Australian Navy Bands will play from the oval with 2SEA broadcasting live and later on you can go back in time and swing to the Rock N Rodders and other local musicians.
Check out hot rods and vintage cars, try your luck at the chocolate wheels, attend an auction with heaps of goodies to raise more community funds, or buy a yellow duck and enter it in the Rapid Duck Race for a chance to win $1000 first prize.
There are plenty of fun things planned for kids, with carnival rides, Easter egg competitions, prizes, fun rides, fairy floss and more.
Local art and historic photography will be on display at the Eden RSL Hall and Eden Community Access Centre will host a car boot and book sale from 10am-2pm on Saturday and Sunday.
The Whalers AFL football team will be serving food at their stall or for finer cuisine and drinks, fresh seafood will be available and patrons can sit down and enjoy a drink at the Grand Matriarch Distillery enclosure.
The Big Blue whale mural at Davidson Place Park on the corner of Imlay and Chandos Streets will be officially unveiled on Friday, April 2 at midday.
Sunday morning will offer a special sunrise service followed by a church service at the RSL hall.
