Ballan Autumn Festival is a much-loved annual community celebration held in the heart of Ballan, Victoria, and one of the town's signature events.
Held each March, the Festival transforms Ballan's main street into a lively hub of colour, creativity, and country hospitality. Visitors can enjoy a full day of attractions including a vibrant grand parade, live music and entertainment, market stalls showcasing local produce and handmade goods, a diverse food court, family activities, and popular favourites such as the pet show and open mic competition.
Proudly volunteer-run, the Ballan Autumn Festival reflects the spirit and resilience of its community, bringing together residents, local businesses, and visitors from across the region. The Festival also provides a valuable boost to local traders and hospitality venues, creating a welcoming atmosphere that encourages people to linger, explore, and connect.
Celebrating its 50th year in 2026, the Ballan Autumn Festival continues a strong tradition of community celebration, offering a relaxed, family-friendly day out that captures the best of small-town Victoria.
