Autumn Festival

WET WEATHER IMPACTS - PARADE & PARK ACTIVITIES CANCELLED; Performances moved to Town Hall

One of the New England’s most celebrated events - The Armidale Autumn Festival - was set to be back bigger and better in 2024 on April 6, but...

"We are very sorry to say that the planned Armidale Autumn Festival 2024 has been impacted by the weather, and will not proceed in its full form.

This has been a difficult decision. We have explored (and revisited over the last hours!) every alternative, including rescheduling the event or splitting activities over two days.

Unfortunately, given the number of stakeholders and moving parts, it has been impossible to devise a solution that ensured the whole event could run.

  • The PARADE IS CANCELLED.
  • The afternoon PARK STALLS AND ACTIVITIES ARE CANCELLED.

However...

  • Breakfast with the Band will proceed at 7am with a wet weather alternative, the Armidale City Band band room opposite Civic Park.
  • Armidale Campus to City Canter will proceed as planned!
  • Performances that were scheduled by New England Conservatorium to be on the stage in the park from 1.30pm have been relocated to Armidale Town Hall. Please join us for some wonderful entertainment if you can!"
Some other autumn activities will still proceed on the weekend, so please Armidale Autumn Festival 2024 program for details, and organisers for updates!
