As a small town in Victoria, Australia, Upwey is a great place to visit for those who want to experience the true essence of Australian culture. Throughout the year, there are various nationally or globally recognized annual events that people from Upwey and its surrounding areas observe with much excitement. Here are some of the most popular ones:

1. Australia Day Celebrations: Every year on January 26, Australians come together to celebrate Australia Day. This is a day to commemorate the arrival of Captain Arthur Phillip and the First Fleet to Sydney Cove in 1788. In Upwey, the celebrations typically include a formal ceremony, a street parade, live music, and fireworks at night.

2. ANZAC Day: On April 25, Australians come together to pay tribute to the Australian and New Zealand soldiers who fought in the Gallipoli campaign during World War I. In Upwey, the ANZAC Day service typically includes a dawn service, march through the town, and wreath-laying ceremony.

3. Dandenong Ranges Open Studios: This event is held annually in May and gives visitors the chance to explore the studios of artists and craftspeople in the Dandenong Ranges, including Upwey. Visitors get to see the artists at work, ask questions, and buy their creations.
