What's On
Festivals & Events
Arts, culture, food, wine and music - this region has an abundance of ingredients for a fabulous calendar of festivals and events all year round, rich in diversity and full of passion. Our festivals and events provide experiences to be relished and enjoyed with families and friends.
Discover signature wines at Budburst Festival, the finest artists at the Castlemaine State Festival, a love of books at Clunes Booktown, or explore stunning gardens at one of our many open garden events. Be part of ChillOut, Australia’s biggest and longest-running country queer pride event.
Experience a month-long celebration of events, nature experiences, autumn produce and creativity at the Macedon Ranges Autumn Festival. Choose from concerts, exhibitions and more at the Woodend Winter Arts Festival, or enjoy a curated selection of films at Castlemaine Documentary Festival.
And if you’re after something a little quirky, there’s the Great Trentham Spudfest – celebrating all things potato, or Harcourt Applefest – celebrating all things apple. Whatever the season and whatever your interest, this is a region with a reputation that delivers.
