With events running over two big weekends, head to the Benalla Festival to uncover hidden gems across the Rose City and the surrounding towns from November 1 to10.
Presented by Benalla Rural City Council, with support from Benalla and District Social Inclusion Action Group, the 2024 Benalla Festival will be a celebration of Benalla Rural City’s lifestyle, its people, country living and community spirit.
This year’s theme Hidden Gems is about finding, revealing and discovering special qualities, talents and places in our own backyard that not many people may know about or widely recognise.
The Hidden Gems theme will feature a diverse program of live music, street entertainment, vehicle displays, theatre, dance performances, fireworks, art exhibitions, guided tours, scavenger and treasure hunts, food and wine, markets, open gardens, film, open and explore days, sport and children’s entertainment.
The launch of the Benalla Festival will be held on Friday, November 1, at the Visitor Information Centre precinct on Mair St with the opening event, Wheel to Wheel.
With several chances to get revved up this year, the festival promises a celebration of all things automotive.
This event will ignite the passion of motoring enthusiasts from near and far.
Diwali@the Mural will celebrate the festival of light and colour and Benalla By the Lake will feature a vibrant live music stage culminating in a spectacular fireworks display.
Events programs will be released shortly.
