WE ARE ON TRACK FOR A GREAT 2012 RUSHWORTH EASTER HERITAGE FESTIVAL.
Rushworth is in Central Victoria, about equidistant (approx. 1hr drive) from Shepparton, Echuca and Bendigo and a 2hr drive from Melbourne.
We plan our Festival to be family friendly, alchohol-free and relaxing whilst showcasing this area, town and produce.
Our events are over a two day period. On Easter Saturday a market, parade and other entertainment take place in the heritage listed High Street of Rushworth. The wonderful Working Draught Horses Event takes place at Moora (7km from Rushworth) on Easter Sunday.
History of the Festival
About 30 ago the Lions Club of Rushworth started an annual Wood Auction at Easter to raise money to distribute to the Rushworth and district community. Then the Rushworth Kindergarten used this opportunity to run a large market to raise funds also.
Six years ago 'Festival of the Birds' was held in conjuction with these Easter Events. And then the Rushworth Easter Heritage Festival was born, initially only on the Easter Saturday. In 2010 the Festival was extended to include the working draught horses at Moora on Easter Sunday and the horse events are organised by the Goulburn Valley Arabian Horse Club.
Nearly all the clubs and associations in Rushworth take part in this Easter Festival in some way, which enables them to raise operating funds for the year.
This Festival is a real collaboration of community spirit which is co-ordinated by the Rushworth Easter Heritage Festival Inc. Committee.
