What a sensational event this is. Mamma says it is absolutely NOT to be missed and worth heading to Ballarat for.

The streets are lined with food vendors, bands, performances and the vibe is fantastic. THIS year will feature the NEW re-imagined program of events. There is so much to see and do you couldn't possibly see it all - but you can plan ahead for the things you want to see - check out the full program here

Mamma's special mention:
From a family friendly perspective - get there EARLY! We took a pram with us for tired legs last year but as the crowds build (from about 9pm) it is tricky to move around Click here for some tips on taking kids to the event.

Food vendors were plentiful and not too busy early on - you could have dinner before you go though and of course take some snacks with you if you like.
It can be a late night for the kids but we thought it was magnificent and worth little grumpy moments here and there.
