Equinox – Autumn Celebration of the Senses

Overview

Summer may have come to an end, but that doesn't mean the good times have to stop as well. In autumn, everything is balanced. Night and day are equally long, the weather isn't too hot or cold. Plus all activities and events for the winter start to kick off. But before that, there's a festival for all things autumn that deserves a visit.

Equinox – Autumn Celebration of the Senses will take place in the Blue Mountains throughout four weekends from Friday, March 10 to Sunday, April 2. Every weekend will involve different events, each themed on a particular sense — taste, hear, feel and see.

First up (for taste) is the weekend of Feast (Friday, March 10 to Sunday, March 12), where seven restaurants across the region have curated autumn-themed menus for you to enjoy. There'll also be Equinox Under the Stars, an evening of stargazing, live music and food on Saturday, March 11.

The following weekend (Friday, March 17 to Sunday, March 19) is the Blue Mountains Music Festival, where you can catch over 100 folk and blues performances across seven venues. Following that is the weekend of Feel (Friday, March 24 to Sunday, March 26), where you can catch magic shows, masquerade balls, ghost tours and more across the region.

Finally, there's the weekend of See (Friday, March 31 to Sunday, April 2). For the festival's final weekend, you can catch live music, revamped local nature tours, a local film festival, an antique fair and more.
