The festival extends across all sixteen days of the NSW winter school holidays with the businesses and residents of Bathurst embracing winter, adding activities to the program of events, decorating their shop fronts and homes and creating a colourful carnival of welcome.
Stunning illuminations projected on some of Bathurst’s historic buildings have been a part of the festival from the very beginning, telling history, lighting up imaginings and bringing community together to acknowledge and celebrate all aspects of the Bathurst Region – people, place, heritage, culture, past, present and future.
