    The event vibe

    Chiltern and Barnawartha's Back to the 1950s Festival will celebrate all things music, fashion, food, movies and vehicles.
    It's a unique event that brings together two of the Shire's communities, connected by the iconic Highway 31, and helps celebrate those heyday 1950's that many will be keen to experience for the first time, and for others, will be reminiscent of happy childhoods.

    This event will incorporate a screening of the iconic movie, Back to the Future at Chiltern's Historic Star Theatre, a rock and roll dance featuring local rock and roll dance group, Johnny's Rockers, yarnbombing by Chiltern Yarnbombers, window displays and vintage markets, a fashion show featuring vintage 50s styles at Chiltern Memorial Hall, rock and roll dance demonstrations, vintage vehicle and bike display and cruise between Barnawartha and Chiltern, the longest intact section of Old Highway 31.

      We acknowledge the First Peoples throughout Victoria and their ongoing connection to the land and waters.

      For over 60,000 years they have cared for Country and preserved our beautiful landscapes. We pay our respects to Elders, past and present.

      We are grateful for their custodianship, their knowledge and their resilience.

      We would also like to acknowledge our First Peoples as Australia’s original storytellers. Their rich storytelling inspires us to share how special Melbourne and Victoria is with the world.
