The Kyneton Daffodil and Arts Festival is a delightful celebration of community, creativity, and nature, making it a must-visit event in regional Victoria. Celebrate the yellow daffodil blooms of Kyneton and ring in the start of spring!
The vibrant display of blooming daffodils throughout the town is a stunning visual treat, creating a picturesque backdrop for the many events and activities on offer.
The festival blends the beauty of spring with local art exhibitions, live performances, and markets that showcase the region’s talent and creativity.
Community Spirit: The Kyneton Daffodil and Arts Festival has a real sense of local community and lots of people turn up for the occasion. The festival really seems to unite the community and the collective joy, participation, and a shared sense of really getting behind something is really on show.
This is what we really love about festivals in regional Victoria and small towns in general.
Variety of activities: From the charming daffodil walks to the fun-filled street parade, there's something for everyone, making it a family-friendly occasion with a lively yet relaxed atmosphere.
Ferret racing is an unusual activity and definitely will not appeal to everyone. However, the ferret racing did seem to be a real crowd pleaser.
The festival also features a highly anticipated scarecrow competition, a riverwalk fun run, an antique and vintage fair, a variety of markets and food experiences, and the festival’s highlight: the unmissable Grand Parade and Fair on the 2nd weekend.
