The Benalla Festival is run by Benalla Rural City Council and overseen by the community-based Benalla Festival Advisory Committee.
A program of events will be released closer to the event, so check back here soon to see what we have planned.
The Benalla Festival Advisory Committee looks forward to seeing you soon!
Celebrating History
The Benalla Festival, in different formats, has been running for 57 years and is a major event on the Benalla Rural City’s community calendar.
Originally known as the Festival of Roses it was first held from 27 October – 5 November in 1967, to give the community pride in its town, publicise Benalla as the Garden City of the North East, show off its roses and offer entertainment for all interests.
Today the Benalla Festival still celebrates Benalla and its district townships through events that showcase what we love about our Rural City.
The Benalla Festival is run by Benalla Rural City Council and overseen by the community-based Benalla Festival Advisory Committee.
