Find your festival
As the leaves put on their golden show, Victoria's regions are abuzz with events and festivals worth planning a trip around.
Mark the annual Grampians Grape Escape in your calendar and head to Halls Gap for superior wine tippling. Or join Australia's largest queer country pride ChillOut Festival in Daylesford.
On the Surf Coast at the start of the Great Ocean Road, Torquay brings salt-keen punters each year to see the world's surfing greats compete in the Rip Curl Pro. Literature-lovers adore the intimate village get-together of Clunes Booktown Festival. Later in the season, celebrate all things Italian heritage at La Fiera Italian Festival, or listen to live music, catch a theatre show and dance the night away at the National Celtic Folk Festival.
Look out for one-off celebrations and long-standing annual festivals that bring a loyal following. Plan your trip around each event – and check out other festivals, events and things to do in the area.
