Celebrate the magic of the winter solstice at the Mansfield Lantern Festival, one of Victoria's most enchanting seasonal events, set in the heart of the High Country.
Held in the picturesque alpine town of Mansfield, at the foot of snow-capped Mt Buller, this vibrant winter celebration transforms the streets with glowing lanterns, dazzling light installations, live music, roaming performers, and delicious local food, wine, craft beer and spirits.
Over three sparkling days, the festival program brings together creativity, culture and community - from lantern-making workshops and family activities to fire-lit entertainment, art displays and a buzzing night market.
The highlight is the spectacular lantern parade, proudly supported by Bendigo Bank, where hundreds of handmade lanterns illuminate the night as crowds gather around open fires to welcome the winter season.
What began as a humble community gathering has grown into a highly anticipated winter event, attracting visitors from across Victoria and beyond. Whether you're joining a lantern workshop, exploring charming village shops and eateries, or pairing your visit with a snow escape at Mt Buller, the Mansfield Lantern Festival is the perfect way to celebrate the longest night of the year in true High Country style.
