Macedon Ranges Autumn Festival

Unearth autumn in the Macedon Ranges. A month-long exploration of events, nature experiences, music, autumn produce and creativity across nine unique and colourful villages.

The festival offers fantastic events not to be missed, including an amazing Pie & Tart Trail featuring over 20 delicious treats perfect for an autumn picnic.

There’ll be plenty of live music, dancing, singing, delicious food, flowing wine and cool cider at cellar doors, orchards, pubs and gin distilleries. Or pick up seasonal produce at farmers markets, where you’ll be entertained by other-wordly creatures ‘The Gardeners’ spreading messages of love and positivity.

Garden lovers will have a field day, while literature and classical music fans are also in for a treat. Join in a wonderful range of creative autumn workshops. You’ll find everything from acrylic painting workshops on a farm surrounded by deer, to a beginner’s blacksmithing class where you can learn to make your own marshmallow toasting fork.

Enjoy plenty of free experiences too, including ‘The Journey’, an interactive light and sound show at Malmsbury Botanic Gardens; live music at the Ultimate Family Picnic, guided nature walks, open art studios and New Orleans style street bands.

Or choose from a selection of curated itineraries and scenic country drives.
