A Better Castlemaine State Festival for Bendigo West

A re-elected Andrews Labor Government will support the Castlemaine State Festival, ensuring it continues to be a vibrant part of our community for years to come.

If re-elected, Labor will provide a $100,000 grant so the Castlemaine State Festival can continue to put on a world-class program of events the whole community can enjoy.

For decades the Castlemaine State Festival has brought delight to local families, supported local jobs and suppliers and drawn tourists to the area with music, literature, visual arts and film.

With this commitment, Labor is making the Castlemaine State Festival even better.
