SO, WHAT’S NEW IN 2021!

This year the theme is INNOVATION INSPIRATION REGENERATION celebrating the real-world innovation, creativity and resilience of our community and the positive effect we can have on our future and on our environment. Inspired by our theme we are really excited to announce a new initiative this year the REGEN EXPO 21 showcasing the work of our inspirational regional businesses and organisations. People who think outside the square and are all about innovation, regeneration and sustainable practices.

HIVE MIND - Alongside the Expo we will present a series of speakers, discussion panels and videos hosted by the delightful Scrapboy from ABC television’s DirtGirl and Costa Georgiardis from Gardening Australia. The PARADE and FINALE will be held in the Showground Arena, culminating in our traditional bonfire and fireworks display (low impact). Please, do not bring your pets to the festival.
