Festivals and Events

Events provide part of the social fabric of a community and the Bega Valley Shire is no exception.

Festivals and Events support a celebration of life, diversity, culture, and environmental sustainability in the Bega Valley Shire.

These events provide an opportunity for the community to come together and celebrate life on the far south coast, spend time with friends and faimly and to build social cohesion through attendance, organising and volunteering.

Events also play an important role in activating the low/shoulder season periods on the tourism calendar by attracting people to the Bega Valley Shire, supporting local businesses, employment and tourism more broadly.

Bega Valley Shire Council is keen to support volunteers run events that build on “Your place, Our place, Great place” and the following information is provided with that in mind.
