Ripple Fest 2025

Council is thrilled to introduce Ripple Fest 22-25 May 2025, as a pioneering arts festival dedicated to connecting people and place through creativity, relationships with nature, and finding new ways to adapt to the impacts of climate change. 

What is Ripple Fest?

Ripple Fest is a vibrant multi-arts festival bringing together the communities of Rochester and Echuca for four days of creativity, connection and celebration. Designed in collaboration with local groups, the festival features an exciting lineup of events across both towns.

In Rochester, experience striking projections, a costume and mask parade and ball, a dynamic Skate Park graffiti wall event with workshops and Dj’s playing live, a pop-up shop showcasing local artists, music in pubs and a variety of creative workshops.

In Echuca, discover a thought-provoking exhibition at the Pump House, a special Bangarra Dance Company – Rekindling demonstration, an immersive Aquatic Reserve event featuring dance, music and a special river procession. At the Port of Echuca there will be live music and a river light show, and bands playing in local pubs. An exhibition and closing event at The Foundry Arts Space, will showcase the next generation of Rochester and Echuca’s young talent.

Ripple Fest is supported by Victorian State Government Funding, helping to reconnect and inspire communities following the 2022 flood event in Campaspe Shire.

Join us as we celebrate creativity, resilience and the power of community!
