January 26th, 2024Arts and culture on the agenda in Macedon Ranges

A jam-packed program of arts and culture events is being rolled out this year in the Macedon Ranges Shire.

Tickets have gone on sale for a diverse mix of performances and activities ranging from iconic musical acts and laugh-out-loud comedy, through to inspiring theatre performances and creative workshops.

The program kicks off in February with Ross Wilson and The Peaceniks playing live at the Kyneton Town Hall and celebrating 50 years of hits, including all of the Daddy Cool and Mondo Rock favourites.

In March, the Kyneton Museum will launch Unmasked, an exhibition on loan from Her Place Women’s Museum Australia, that celebrates nursing and midwifery in the Macedon Ranges Victoria and beyond.

Throughout April, a range of local bands and artists will perform in the inaugural Live & Local series across the shire’s charming community halls, as part of the 2024 Macedon Ranges Autumn Festival.

Featuring You Am I’s Tim Rogers, Juliarna Clark, The Whiskey Rogues, Valley Road and more, and complemented by local wines and food trucks featuring regional produce, this is a series of events that’s expected to be a strong visitor drawcard to the shire.

Children can also burn some creative energy during the April school holidays with the Creative Kids School Holiday Program, where they can join a hands-on, fun collaboration ‘Kids Creative Building Jam’ facilitated by artist and designer Anna Åkerlund over five separate interactive workshops.
