Ballan Autumn Festival is an annual celebration of local culture, creativity and community, and is one of the oldest regional country fairs in the Moorabool Shire.

Autumn Festival 2025 promises to be the best ever, with a central stage for entertainment, more artisanal market stalls, and a seated and shaded dining precinct, along with the Festival’s perennial crowd pleasers. 

Don’t miss the Grand Parade, and get up close and personal with an amazing selection of beautiful vintage cars.

Browse over 100 market stalls and put together a feast from a huge array of food trucks, gathered in the Festival’s new seated and shaded dining precinct.

Throw in the Festival’s traditional favourites like the Animal Nursery, and tonnes of activities for the kids, and you’ve got a cracking day out for the whole family.
