Radio 2RDJ-FM was there!
Yes, Your local community radio station was proud to once again support our much-loved Spring Festival on Saturday 5 September 2026! This is Strathfield’s largest event and attracts over 20,000 people from across the Inner West and wider Sydney for a fun filled day of carnival rides, headline entertainment, stalls, food, pony rides, roving entertainment, sports activations and more!
Under beautiful blue skies, radio 2RDJ’s exceptionally talented volunteers kept the crowds (and FM/on-line listeners) entertained with music, live interviews, and a steady commentary of the fabulous happenings at the festival. Special mentions to John Elwell, Catherine Crosse, John Dale, The Dream team (Neil, Ant, Cat, Leah), Camilo, and Rob. Not forgetting our station anchor, June, making sure the signal blasted out across Sydney’s Inner West.
Sadly, a late afternoon change in the weather meant an early (and rather scrambled!) pack up and bump-out for the 2RDJ crew, but all declared it was a sensational event and we’re already looking forward to the next one in 2028!

Fun and frivolity was organised by Vivian with great games and super prizes. But you’ve got to watch that Jon Trenoski who rearranged the cards (more than once!) during the “match the cards” memory game.
