Autumn Festival
The 2025 Macedon Ranges Autumn Festival will take place 1 to 30 April.
The festival’s purpose is to inspire visitors to explore and discover the beauty of autumn in the Macedon Ranges.
Each year the festival actively highlights a diverse range of events, markets, workshops, exhibitions, tours, and live music, along with leafy local picnic locations, enticing seasonal food, pies and tarts, edgy veg meals, and of course, tipple trails.
