The Bendigo Easter Festival transforms Rosalind Park and surrounding streets into a vibrant hub of family-friendly entertainment over the Easter long weekend. Highlights include an egg hunt with 80,000 eggs, Carnival Central, the Rotary Market, live music performances, and park activities. The event also showcases Bendigo’s Chinese heritage through the Awakening of the Dragon, featuring the world’s longest Imperial Dragon, Dai Gum Loong. Visitors can enjoy the illuminated Torchlight Procession with fireworks on Easter Saturday, followed by the iconic Sherridon Homes Gala Parade on Easter Sunday, where Dai Gum Loong leads a colourful procession through historic streets.
