Man from Snowy River Festival

Format changes will also be made to the shoeing and packing categories, but the bareback obstacle format will remain unchanged.

The Festival was first held in 1963 and has returned to the Victorian town of Corryong every year since, only being cancelled twice in its illustrious history, in 2018 with the equine influenza epidemic, and in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The festival has become a must for passionate stockmen and women as well as anyone who wants to experience the bush lifestyle of the mountains and feel the spirit of one of australia’s most quintessential legends.

The Festival provides an opportunity to revisit the legend of Banjo Patterson’s famous poem and serves as striking reminder of the great traditions and exploits of the australian bush.

The program of activities aims to foster a revival in the mountains’ cultural heritage.

The Man from Snowy River Bush Festival will be held in Corryong from April 13 to 18.
