The four day event offers a mix of performance opportunities, workshops and concerts featuring headline acts.
Geraldine Winterlights Festival
The Geraldine Winterlights Festival lights up the beautiful boutique town over the July winter holidays with a large outdoor event for the whole family on the Saturday of the Festival, with a large market comprising arts & crafts stalls, a wide variety of food stalls, a snow mountain, games and entertainment for children, live music and dance, a fire show and a fireworks display. Great winter fun for the whole family.

Geraldine Festival (Formerly known as the Arts & Plants Festival)
