Rushworth Heritage Easter Fesatival - Rushworth Wizard

Our Goals

To strengthen our community growth by increasing tourism to the area through showcasing local arts, skills and business in the district and promoting rural living.

Our Mission

To promote, encourage and actively engage people in the participation of building a thriving community.

Our Vision

To encourage community participation and economic growth of Rushworth and the surrounding district by showcasing local business, tourism opportunities, produce, craft, talents and skills.

Rushworth and district is a culturally diverse community, with many interesting and unique people, businesses and tourist attractions.  We, as a committee, have a commitment to promote the area to visitors and residents alike, not just at Easter, but throughout the year, organising activities, displays, and events, which will culminate in our main event being the Rushworth Easter Heritage Festival held every year on Easter Saturday.

It is our intention to involve as many people as possible to create a friendly welcoming environment for our big day, which will include showcasing the local businesses and stores in the township, historic places and events, involving local groups and schools and miscellaneous entertainment to celebrate our district and focus on our proudly heritage listed town, Rushworth.

We are proud of our town, enjoying a relaxed rural lifestyle and fostering good working relationships with neighbouring towns, Campaspe Shire Council, Police, and emergency services. The Rushworth Easter Heritage Festival is supported by many volunteers and we encourage other local groups to actively support the festival, giving them the opportunity to raise much-needed funds. These include Rushworth Kindergarten, Rushworth Machinery Preservation Club, Rushworth Tigers Football & Netball Club, Shearing for Kids with Cancer, Rushworth SES, Rushworth Historic Society and numerous other groups.  Many of these groups can be discovered at stalls throughout the Rushworth Easter Heritage Festival.
