With the 2025 Bendigo Easter Festival starting this Friday, residents and visitors are encouraged to plan their trip to and from the major event during the busy long weekend.
Road closures and detours will be in place in the city centre to facilitate the staging of Bendigo’s biggest homegrown community festival. Many of the road closures will be in effect from Wednesday April 16 to Monday April 21.
No unauthorised vehicles will be permitted within the Bendigo Easter Festival precinct/road closure areas during event times. These areas have been declared a temporary tow away zone.
Residents and visitors are strongly advised not to park or leave a car overnight in the tow away zone. Any unauthorised vehicle left in the road closure area during the event times will be towed to a location outside of the closure area if Victoria Police is unable to contact the owner to move the vehicle.
City of Greater Bendigo Manager Economy & Experience James Myatt said it was important for people to be aware in advance of the tow away zone and road closures.
“The road closures and the tow away zone across the festival precinct are necessary to meet the needs of staging Bendigo’s biggest community festival and accommodate thousands of people flocking to events and activities on foot,” Mr Myatt said.
“The City would like to take this opportunity to thank residents and local businesses for their understanding and patience while these temporary road closures are in place.
“I strongly encourage residents and visitors to plan your trip to the festival using the detailed information and updates on the Bendigo Easter Festival website and Facebook.
