SAVE the dates: Shepparton Festival will run from June 11 to 27, 2021.
The annual program which features regional arts across a range of disciplines will showcase the thriving creative community in the Goulburn Valley. Next year’s festival theme is ‘Unify’.

Shepparton Festival general manager, Louise Tremper, said “We are looking forward to delivering a safe and exciting festival in June 2021. We aim to reignite the creativity that our region is so well known for and to giving a boost to our visitor economy.”
According to festival creative director, Jamie Lea, the timing of the festival will allow for artists and organisers to adapt to any Coronavirus restrictions which may affect the schedule.

“We are feeling strong and eager to bring our region its 25th festival. Winter is a wonderful opportunity to explore different indoor/outdoor spaces and use the black of night as our canvas,” she said.

As always, the program will deliver a diverse range of events including visual arts, comedy, music, workshops, films, performance, feasts and a line-up of unique events.

“Unify is a call to action on so many levels and the perfect theme for a festival post-lockdown. We are all hungry for a festival, but before we know it, June will be right here, and I can’t wait,” Jamie said.
