More Than Just One Weekend
The Hepburn Swiss Italian Festa is a community festival that celebrates the enduring contribution of Swiss Italian migrants who came to the Hepburn Springs/ Daylesford region during the 1850s gold rushes.
In the lead-up to the Swiss Italian Festa this October, a series of local events will bring our heritage, culture and community together.
From food and tradition to history and celebration, each event will help share the story of our Swiss Italian heritage with a new generation, while raising important funds to support the 2026 Festa.
Join us along the way as we build towards four unforgettable days in the Hepburn Shire.
