The East Gippsland Winter Festival is back from 20 June to 20 July, lighting up the region with a month-long celebration of lights, food, music, art, and culture.

Stretching from Paynesville to Omeo and Cape Conran, highlights include Bruthen’s Medieval Winter Fire Festival, the Nicholson Trestle Bridge Long Lunch, Fire & Ice @ Metung, Lakes Lights, and Sailors Grave’s ‘Deep In The Weeds’.

New in 2025 we’ll see an après ski party, op shop ball, scarecrow comp, and exciting chef collabs. It’s the ultimate way to warm up your winter!
