Bendigo Easter Festival 2010

We're having a party this Easter and everyone is invited!

The Easter weekend will be filled with activities to honour the festival's Past, Present and Future.

The party will get started on Good Friday with Hazeldene's Family Day at Lake Weeroona. The Easter Egg Hunt is always a favourite for young children as they search to find the tastiest Easter treat - chocolate! Kids will be enchanted by the entertainment on stage throughout the day. Adults can stroll around the market, covet the classic cars or be captivated by the art.

Rosalind Park will be a mass of celebration at the festival's official 140th birthday party. There will be loads of party games, fun activities and great entertainment so make sure you come along and wish the Bendigo Easter Festival a very Happy Birthday!

Dance, drums, Lion Teams and 100,000 crackers are all part of the Chinese Spring Festival and the Awakening of the Dragon as Bendigo celebrates its Chinese heritage on Easter Sunday. As the sun sets on a day full of colour and culture, find your place along the road to cheer on the convoy of illuminated floats in the Torchlight Procession concluding with a spectacular fireworks display over the City.

The festivals 140th celebrations will finish with a gorgeous display of colour as Sun Loong makes his 40th appearance in the Gala Parade.

You will take a short journey through the past, present and future of the parade with a wonderful display of floats celebrating Bendigo's rich past and prosperous future.
