In 2026, the festival will take place over two weekends:
The first weekend showcasing our rural townships. On the second weekend, Benalla comes alive with vibrant activities and events. 

We invite individuals, businesses, and organisations to contribute to this dynamic event by hosting their own activities – be it live music, art exhibitions, workshops, or family-friendly entertainment.

This is a wonderful opportunity to showcase your talents, engage with the community, and be part of a cherished local tradition.
