The CERES Olive to Oil Festival is a free community festival will offer preserving demonstrations, pruning workshops, live music, food stalls and activities for children. Come along, see people picking up their oil and get excited about community action.

Melbourne's backyard and street trees are about to become a city-wide harvest, as CERES' much-loved Olive to Oil program returns this May and June. The community-powered initiative invites residents to collect olives from their own trees - or rescue fruit going to waste in local streets and parks - and have them pressed into fresh extra virgin olive oil. For those without access to olive trees, come along to the festival and experience the action.
