Come for a journey into the Wild as Bathurst celebrates all that is creative, vibrant and unique to the region during the annual Winter Festival.

Staged over two weeks, 7 – 22 July, historic buildings will come alive through static and interactive illuminations, breathing life into old buildings every night from sundown.

Wander through the Enchanted Forest then rug up in the Winter Playground with the McDonald's Bathurst Ice Rink, giant ferris wheel, all-day illumination and the Ultimate Dance Party. Tickets start from $5 and the Winter Playground is open every day of the festival from 9am – 9pm.

Ignite the Night will kick off the festival on Saturday 7 July with regional food and drinks, mulled wine, ice skating performers and local entertainment from midday – 9pm.
Brew & Bite will take centre stage on Saturday 14 July with a pop up bar, street food, fire performances, silent disco and more mulled wine from midday – 9pm.
