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.

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
