The Arrowtown Autumn Festival is a community based festival that hosts over 65 different events in their festival programme, with the main festival day entertaining young and old with parade & market.

The 2008 festival is held during the last weekend of the April school holidays with a huge array of events planned. Fun workshops in stilt walking, circo-arts, writing and cooking along with variety concerts and wonderful daily free entertainment. In '08 we have some fantastic new events including magic shows by Elgrego with amazing illusions, plus 3 new adult evening events. All the old favourites are back with the Senior Citizens free afternoon tea, Arrow Entertainers musical and the Rilean Autumn Festival Ball. The festival promises to showcase local talent and with all the stunning autumn colours it is sure to be a huge hit with locals and visitors alike.
