Held since 1871, the Bendigo Easter Festival is one of Australia's longest-running community events.
Over the Easter long weekend, Bendigo's beautiful Rosalind Park and surrounding streets will be transformed into a vibrant precinct bursting with family-friendly entertainment, stage shows, hands-on activities, live music, roving performers, an Easter egg hunt and more.
Experience the thrills of Carnival Central, find a treasure at the Rotary Market, and marvel at the extraordinary entertainers wandering through picturesque Rosalind Park.
Dance, drums, Lion teams and 100,000 crackers are all part of the Chinese Spring Festival and Awakening of the Dragon, as Bendigo celebrates its Chinese heritage at the Dai Gum San Precinct.
Find your place along the road to cheer on the convoy of illuminated floats in the La Trobe Torchlight Procession, concluding with a spectacular fireworks display over the city on Saturday night.
Thousands of people will line the streets on Easter Sunday to watch the gorgeous display of colour in the Sherridon Homes Gala Parade. Experience the excitement as Bendigo's newest Dragon Dai Gum Loong (the world's longest Imperial Dragon), weaves his way through the historic streetscapes of Bendigo in his first solo parade outing.
The Bendigo Easter Festival is filled with fun and excitement the whole family will enjoy, and after visiting this annual event it is sure to become your family's Easter tradition.
