Following on from the success of our Northern Gramps Girls Can campaign last year where council lit up exercise spaces in the early mornings, several of the shire’s sporting facilities are due to light up again in 2026. Between May 4 and September 30, spaces in Stawell and St Arnaud will light up from 6pm to 7.30pm on Monday and Wednesday evenings, and from 6am and 7am on Wednesday mornings.
Easter in Northern Grampians is something to look forward to each year...a tradition of vibrancy, atmosphere and connection.
We are excited to welcome back visitors, families and friends to celebrate and connect once again, all whilst supporting our local businesses and service providers.
Our regular major events including the Great Western Rodeo, Stawell Gold Cup and Stawell Gift are returning, along with the family favourite, the Stawell Lions Club Easter Carnival. These along with many others, provide a chance to reconnect and discover more about our great region.
