Bendigo Easter Festival

Visit Australia’s oldest continuous running cultural festival, the Bendigo Easter Festival. Beginning in 1870 as a way to raise funds for the local hospital, the festival will now celebrate its 148th year of showcasing Bendigo’s diverse cultural heritage and community.

There are activities for all-ages, ensuring that everyone in the family is entertained. Highlights include the Vision Australia Easter Egg Hunt and Family Day, live music, community markets and the Bendigo District RSL Torchlight Lantern Procession and Fireworks. Each year, the Bendigo Chinese Association presents Chinese festivities including the awakening of the dragon and Chinese Spring Festival. A special cultural event not-to-miss!

The town of Bendigo itself has a rich history designed to be explored. Bush walks, art galleries and discovering gold mines are all just the beginning of Bendigo, with activities to suit every person in the family.
