Bendigo TAFE Easter Festival

Enjoy fun for the whole family at the Bendigo Easter Festival, with live entertainment, games, and the Vision Australia Easter Egg Hunt with over 170,000 eggs to find! 

On Saturday, see Lion Teams and 100,000 crackers at the Chinese Spring Festival and Awakening of the Dragon, as Bendigo celebrates its Chinese heritage on the Dai Gum San Precinct.

Then find your place along the road as the sun sets to cheer on the convoy of illuminated floats in the O'Brien Electrical Torchlight Lantern Procession, ending with a spectacular fireworks display. 

On Sunday watch the incredible display of colour in the Bendigo Advertiser Gala Parade, featuring the world's longest Imperial Chinese Dragon, Sun Loong.
