A winter wonderland in the Central Tablelands.

Overview
Grab your woollies and get ready to celebrate all things chilly at the Bathurst Winter Festival. The two-week event celebrates the magic of the colder months — just because it's winter doesn't mean you can't get out and have a fun time.
Bathurst will light up in a blaze of colour as interactive light installations project onto the town's historic architecture. Rug up and head along to the Winter Playground, where you can get your Nancy Kerrigan on at the ice-skating rink. Kids and adults alike will enjoy riding the giant ferris wheel.
Held on the first and second Saturday, there will be two twilight Festival Nights. The first, Ignite the Night, will kick off the festival with local tunes and stunning light shows scattered around the village. The second, Brew and Bite, features twilight markets, with gourmet food trucks and lots of the all-essential mulled wine.
