This huge family-friendly festival takes over Bendigo’s beautiful Rosalind Park and surrounding streets. Be in the hunt for 100,000 Easter Eggs on Good Friday, find a treasure at the massive Rotary Market, enjoy hands-on activities and performances especially for kids, see the drums and Lion teams as part of the city’s Chinese heritage celebrations, and attend the huge Easter Sunday Gala Parade where Dai Gum Loong, the world’s longest Imperial Dragon, weaves his way through the historic streetscapes of Bendigo. A truly spectacular festival that dates back to the 1870s.
