The 2025 Benalla Festival is back, bringing 11 jam-packed days of music, arts, entertainment and community fun from Friday, October 31, to Sunday, November 9.
Hosted by Benalla Rural City Council, this year’s theme ‘Live Local, Love Local’ celebrates the people, places and shared experiences that make our rural city a vibrant and connected community.
The full program offers a day-by-day guide to headline events, local performances, workshops, exhibitions, family-friendly activities and more.
It also includes a handy festival map to help locals and visitors easily navigate and plan their festival experience.
Benalla Festival Advisory Committee chair Cr Justin King said the pocket program was the perfect guide for everyone to enjoy all that the festival had to offer.
"The 2025 Benalla Festival program features festival favourites, from the beloved fireworks at Benalla by the Lake and Diwali @ Mural to open gardens, community markets, live performances and youth-focused activities," Cr King said.
"It transforms Benalla Rural City into a hub of celebration and connection, and the printed pocket program makes it easy to see exactly where and when everything is happening.
“It’s all about making the festival accessible, enjoyable and something the whole community can be proud of.”
The 2025 festival pocket program is now available from council’s service centre, the Benalla Visitor Information Centre, Benalla Library and many local businesses.
Alternatively, you can visit www.benallafestival.com.au/ for full details on all events.
