Beechworth Music Festival

Spring Ditch! – Returning in 2024

Spring Ditch! A day of great music, food, drink and family fun takes place at beautiful The Stanley Sports Ground in Stanley Victoria on Saturday 2nd of March in 2024. A new take and a tip of the hat to the much beloved and long running Stanley Sports Day with a modern spin. Heaps of fun for the kids to the grown ups and everyone in between! It’s a bit old, and a bit new!

Spring Ditch is a new music event to be held in the beautiful backdrop of Stanley and showcasing some talented Australian artists. Local community and businesses will be involved on many levels with flow on benefit including fundraising opportunities and increased visitation to the Stanley and surrounding areas.

Family activities will be run during the changeover time between bands. Fun filled events will be based on the former Stanley New Year’s Sports Day which ceased in 1995 after 145 continuous years of being held at the Stanley Recreation Reserve.
