April 12th, 2026Macedon Ranges Autumn Festival

The Macedon Ranges is showcasing its most vibrant season, with the month-long Macedon Ranges Autumn Festival.
Spanning nine picturesque villages, the festival invites visitors and residents to slow down, explore and experience the region at its autumnal best. People can take part in a wide variety of experiences: from farmers and artisans markets, to guided walks, foraging, workshops and exhibitions.
Open gardens across the region, including those on the renowned Mount Macedon Autumn Garden Trail, offer a chance to experience the season’s colour at its peak, while wellness activities such as meditation and forest bathing provide opportunities to connect with nature.
At the heart of this year’s festival is an extensive line-up of food and drink experiences, including the much-loved Pie & Tart Trail with more than 50 savoury and sweet creations across the region.
For those looking to sip and sample, the popular Tipple Trail returns, showcasing more than 35 venues. In 2026, the festival will also introduce a closing night celebration.
The full program is available online, with visitors encouraged to plan their visit and explore the wide range of events and experiences on offer throughout April.
