What’s on in Ballarat this autumn

Fire-roasted feasts, vintage tram high teas, rare trades, wine festivals, adrenaline-fueled sport.

From the launch of ALWAYS LIVE's new live music series to the inaugural Ballarat Craft & Design Week and the ever-popular Ballarat Marathon, our autumn calendar of events is bursting with culture, cuisine and colour.

Food, glorious food (and drinks)!
