2012 - Saturday 20th Oct - Tues 6th Nov 2012 

 

The Bright Spring Festival showcases what the Great Alpine Valleys is all about; great cafes and restaurants, access to many wineries, accommodation to suit all budgets, adventure sports, walking tracks and bike trails, street and river markets and the natural beauty of the Ovens, Buckland, Happy and Kiewa Valleys not found elsewhere in Victoria.                                                            

 

Until the program details for 2012 are finalised, please look at the program for 2011 which should be similar although the Art Gallery will forgo its Annual Spring Festival Exhibition this year as it is closing for refurbishment.
