Enter our parades

The Bendigo Easter Festival program features two parades:

• Torchlight Procession on Easter Saturday April 19, 2025
• Sherridon Homes Gala Parade on Easter Sunday April 20, 2025

Our parades are a traditional family favourite for many local and visitors alike, and the absolute highlight of the festival. Sweeping through city streets bringing colour, dance, movement and music to all.  

The parade route follows View Street, Pall Mall, McCrae Street, Chapel Street and Bridge Street.

Be a part of the magic! It’s a fantastic opportunity for community groups to express their artistic talent and culture and be seen by tens of thousands of people who line the parade route each year. 

Applications for parade entries will open on October 4, 2024.
