Events
Check the local event calendar when planning your visit to the Grampians region to make sure you don't miss the colourful events held throughout the year.
The famous Stawell Gift
Come at Easter for the famous Stawell Easter Gift. Held every year since 1878, the meet is renowned internationally as a leading professional foot race.
Festivals with fine foods and regional wine
Foodies should head directly to the Grampians Grape Escape Food and Wine Festival in May, a wonderful celebration of local food and wine and music set against the spectacular backdrop of the Grampians National Park. Fill your basket with locally-grown produce at farmers markets at many regional towns.
Get on your glad rags for the Blue Pyrenees Avoca Cup in October, enjoying the fantastic food, wine and track-side entertainment of one of country Victoria's largest spring race meetings.
Sample the region's artistic side at arts events throughout the year, and look out for events in the great outdoors for unforgettable Grampians experiences.
