We are looking forward to delivering a safe and exciting festival in June 2021. We aim to reignite the creativity that our region is so well known for and to giving a boost to our visitor economy.

Sure, it’s going to look a little different, but the move allows the Festival team to make progress on our recently released strategic plan. It gives artists time to generate a program that not only inspires and connects, but also fits the COVID-Safe restrictions we may be facing. Our Creative Director Jamie Lea says “We are feeling strong and eager to bring our region its 25th Festival. Winter is a wonderful opportunity to explore different practices and spaces, as well as using the black of night as our canvas.”

As always, the program will deliver a diverse range of events including visual arts, comedy, music, workshops, films, performance, feasts and a line-up of unique events you won’t want to miss.

The Goulburn Valley has a thriving creative community with Shepparton as the arts epicentre and showcasing regional highlights Toolamba to Dookie, Tatura to Murchison and many in between.

Whether you crave a taste of culture, want to experience events in unusual places or simply love spending time with family and friends, the Shepparton Festival has something for everyone!
