East Gippsland Winter Festival
Festivals and Celebrations
Discover a different side of winter as East Gippsland comes alive in a month-long festival of light, food, music, art and culture.
Be welcomed by friendly locals and creative communities as a unique series of events pop up in towns and villages across Victoria's far east, forming one of the largest and most diverse winter festival programs in Australia.
Embrace the chill of the season and celebrate the shortest day of the year with a winter solstice swim, then warm up at medieval bonfire nights, winter feasts in spectacular locations, wandering through larger-than-life artist-made lanterns, and so much more.
