From April 5-28, the picturesque region of the Macedon Ranges will play host to a huge celebration of all things autumn. The Macedon Ranges Autumn Festival features a program of events, markets, workshops and guided walks, plus plenty of opportunities to sample delicious local produce.
Eat your way through 43 heavenly pastries as part of the Autumn Pie and Tart Trail. Both savoury and sweet pies will be available, including offerings like a lamb shank pot pie, Guinness pie, lemon meringue ice cream pie and an American cherry pie. Yum!
Feeling thirsty? Take your pick from ten Tipple Trails, which will give you a taste of the best craft brewers, ciders, gin distillers, country pubs and winemakers. Or you could try the Edgy Veg Trail, which will see local pubs, cafés and restaurants create innovative plant-based dishes.
Local musicians are set to take over community halls across the region as part of the Live and Local line-up, with Jarrod Shaw, the Whiskey Rogues and Shout Out To The Girls! scheduled to appear.
And be sure to pick up your festival map and passport – collect all the stamps and you will go into the draw to win the highly sought-after 2024 Autumn Festival prize. Many of these events are free, but to find out more and book tickets where appropriate, head to the website.
