Festivals & Events

WHO DOESN’T LOVE A GREAT FESTIVAL?

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 the magic of international concerts at Hanging Rock, the finest artists at the Castlemaine State Festival, signature wines at Budburst Festival, a love of books at Clunes Booktown or engage with contemporary storytellers at The Mountain Writers Festival. Be part of ChillOut, Australia’s biggest and longest-running Country Queer Pride event, experience the new folk and roots music festival, CresFest, or immerse yourself in the big screen at The Castlemaine Documentary Film Festival. Celebrate the coming of spring at the Kyneton Daffodil and Arts Festival or experience a month-long celebration of events, nature experiences, autumn produce and creativity at the Macedon Ranges Autumn Festival (winner of the Festivals and Events category at the 2022 Victorian Tourism Awards). Rug up and enjoy a stunning program of concerts, exhibitions and more at the Woodend Winter Arts Festival. And if you’re after something a little quirky, there’s the Trentham Spudfest, celebrating all things potato; or perhaps the iconic Australia Day Hanging Rock Races is more your style. Whatever the season and whatever your interest, this is a region with a reputation that delivers.
