WHAT’S HAPPENING IN 2023

Snowfest Gippsland is back even bigger and better in 2023.

Snowfest Gippsland will return for its fifth year this July, with organisers doubling the number of activities available and increasing the number of street closures to accommodate huge growth and popularity.

The annual winter festival transforms the centre of Warragul into a snow-filled playground with snow couriered into town all the way from the Mt Baw Baw Ski Resort.

This year the event will expand on its carnival feel, with double the amount of rides as well as even more free activities, food trucks and entertainment and fireworks for everyone.

There will also be an increase in local business participation as well as community group FReeZA’s involvement.

The beloved Howling Huskies are set to return while Happy the Cow makes his first appearance. Kids can enjoy the Aussie Farm Petting Zoo, learn from Gumbuya World’s Ranger Benny and be enchanted by Elsa from Disney’s Frozen.

Everyone can expect to be wowed by the Australian Mountain Boarders, Tim Coleman Motorbike Stunts, Fire Twirlers and Taiko Drummers.
