Bendigo Easter Festival

The Bendigo Easter Festival is one of Australia's longest-running and most loved community events, attracting thousands of visitors each year over the Easter long weekend.

During the festival, Bendigo's beautiful Rosalind Park and surrounding streets come alive with a vibrant program of family-friendly entertainment, activities, and attractions. Visitors can enjoy the Vision Australia Easter Egg Hunt, Carnival Central, the Rotary Market, live music, roving entertainment, hands-on children's activities, and much more.

Volunteers play an important role in creating a welcoming and memorable experience for festival attendees. There are a variety of volunteer roles available throughout the festival, including:

• Assisting with children's activities in Rosalind Park, such as play activities, craft activities, science activities, and the Easter Egg Hunt.
• Providing festival information and directions to visitors.
• Helping at information points, activity areas, and other festival locations.

Whether you volunteer for a single four-hour shift or across the entire Easter weekend, you'll have the opportunity to meet new people, gain valuable experience, contribute to the community, and be part of one of Bendigo's most iconic events.

Volunteer positions for the 2027 Bendigo Easter Festival will open in January 2027!
