    The event vibe

    Join Steamrail as they head to Bendigo for a day at the Bendigo Easter Festival behind steam locomotive R711 and heritage diesel locomotives.

    There is much to see and do for the whole family at the Bendigo Easter Festival. Watch the Gala Parade, be entertained by roving street performers, visit the Rotary Art and Craft market or art gallery, be enthralled by the Goldfields library story telling tree, have fun at the Central Carnival on the rides, ride the vintage tram, wander around and admire the grandeur of the 'gold era' buildings or have a quiet lunch at one of the many fine hotels and cafes.

    The Bendigo Easter Festival will culminate when thousands of people line the streets to watch the gorgeous display of colour in the 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.

    Sit back in your comfortable compartment and enjoy the scenery as our classic steam locomotive powers through the line's historic tunnels and viaducts. On arrival at Bendigo, there are five hours to explore and take part in the festival. After a full day out, relax in your comfortable 1920s or 1940s carriage with a snack, or some light refreshments as they take you home to Melbourne

      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.
