Winterfest

Bundanoon

Thank you - that's a wrap!

See you next year.

About Winterfest

Bundanoon Magpie.png

Bundanoon Winterfest has been running for over 12 years bringing together the community in the middle of winter - July in the Highlands is dark and cold. Bundanoon Winterfest brings light and a sense of community to that midwinter darkness. It has become an enormously popular mid-winter celebration, with a program of events designed to appeal to all. 

​

This year's theme is Frost and Bloom, reflecting on the beauty of our wonderful plants such as Croweas, Correas, Grevilliea and Camellias that bloom amidst the frosts of a Bundanoon winter.

It is an Aboriginal name meaning "place of deep gullies" and was formerly known as Jordan's Crossing. Bundanoon is colloquially known as Bundy. It is a village of character and charm full of characters!
