What’s on

Held in the quaint, poetic township of Bellengin, the Bellingen Readers & Writers Festival is an annual event to pencil into the calendar if you’re a lover of the written word. Featuring a schmorgasbord of local and international writers, local literati will be spoilt for choice when it comes to celebrating authors of all genres.

If you are a bit of a Chilli fiend, then this festival will certainly warm the taste buds! On the first Saturday in July, picturesque First Avenue is transformed into a carnival of all things hot and spicy. Attracting over 13,000 people on the day, the Chilli Festival features over 70 chilli related stalls.

Join the Valla Beach Ukulele Camp, hosted by Valla Beach Holiday Park, and elevate your ukulele skills through workshops and ensembles in a relaxed beach party ambiance. Concerts showcase global/national acts, local talents, tutors, and guests.
