Whether you're admiring local talent, catching up with friends, or just soaking up the festive atmosphere, the Lake Cargelligo Show is a fantastic day out for all ages. Don't miss this proud community tradition that captures the spirit of the district in one unforgettable day.
Join the community in Heyfield, Victoria, to celebrate the region's timber heritage with activities like woodchopping, logging displays, street parades, live entertainment, market stalls, and family fun, serving as both a cultural celebration and a platform for the timber industry to connect with the community.
The festival has grown into an award-winning event in Western Victoria over the years, which is always held on the last Saturday in February.
When first established, the festival sought to bring the past, present and future of the region together. The already well-established timber industry has been a part of the region since the 1860s and continues today. This is represented by the focus on wood. For wine, this highlights the growing number of vineyards on the outskirts of town, with wine now becoming a big part of our local culture.
Roses are also big in the Heywood area, in particular thanks to the world-renowned Treloar’s Rose Farm. In addition, 600 roses have been planted in the main street area by our local garden club. With all three of wood, wine and roses represented, the festival captures a big part of our local community.
