Events – Goldfields

Bendigo Easter Festival

The Goldfields boasts a rich calendar of festivals and events. Begin the New Year with the sounds from the Organs of the Ballarat Goldfields festival, a program of glorious music played in historic churches, or kick up your heels at the Maryborough Highland Gathering, a New Year's Day fixture for the past 140 years.

At Easter see Sun Loong the Chinese dragon parade through the streets of Bendigo for the annual six-day festival. Or join the Stawell Easter Gift Festival and the excitement of the 12-second Stawell Gift foot race. From August to September, the Royal South Street Eisteddford showcases up-and-coming performing artists.

In October tour Bendigo's heritage buildings and taste entrees from local restaurants accompanied by the best of the region's wines, at Bendigo Heritage Uncorked. Step into spring at the Maldon Folk Festival, a four-day musical extravaganza held over the Melbourne Cup weekend in November, featuring some of the country/s finest folk artists.
