Oberon is preparing to put on a show like never before with the launch of Springfest 2025, a new celebration that promises to bring warmth, light, and a splash of colour to the Central Tablelands. Running from 12–14 September, Springfest Oberon will take over the town with fire pits, flowers, feasts and festivities in what organisers hope becomes a new annual tradition.
With the theme Light Up Spring: Fire, Flowers & Festivity, the three-day event is shaping up to be a spectacular mix of open-air dining, hands-on experiences, and community connection. A highlight of the program is the Terra Firma Dining Experience — a black-tie, under-the-stars affair where fire-based gourmet cooking takes centre stage in an unforgettable outdoor setting.
The energy continues with a bustling farmers market and a community bonfire night, complete with live music, local produce, and paddock-to-plate food stalls. Creative types can get stuck into craft workshops, while families can enjoy the colourful spectacle of the Daffodil Parade, a nod to Oberon’s long-standing love of spring blooms and community spirit.
There’ll also be a fireworks finale to light up the night sky, and plenty of immersive experiences throughout the weekend — from truffle hunts and farm tours to fly fishing and more — giving visitors a taste of the region’s natural beauty and rural heritage.
Festival organiser Jacqui Harman says the event is designed to do more than mark the change of seasons. “Springfest Oberon is about more than just welcoming the season – it’s about igniting the spirit of our community and celebrating the beauty of our region. We’re thrilled to showcase Oberon’s unique blend of fire, flowers, and community connection.”
Locals, visitors, and anyone with a love of country hospitality are invited to join in. Volunteers, stallholders, and performers are still being welcomed. To find out more or grab your tickets, head to www.springfestoberon.com or follow @springfestoberon on social media.
