Our signature Orange Blossom Festival is back in 2026 with the return of three main events and a series of community events to kick off spring.
Echoes – Moon Garden
Nightly, Friday 18th September – Sunday 11th October 2026 | Bella Vista Farm
After a hugely successful debut last year, Echoes returns to Bella Vista Farm with an all-new theme. Wander through an enchanted moonlit garden as the Farm comes alive with spectacular light, sound and storytelling throughout this immersive month-long experience.
Visitors will also be able to enjoy food and drinks from a range of vendors, including Toby’s Milkbar and Gelato Messina with a limited-edition mystery flavor.

OBF Parade
11am – 4pm Sunday 19th September | Rouse Hill Town Centre
The Main Street of Rouse Hill Town Centre will come alive with colour and fanfare at the OBF Parade, featuring local community groups and special guests, PAW Patrol.
The Parade will end in Market Square, followed by performances from community groups, as well as free face painting and gardening workshops. A dedicated ‘Secret Garden’ space will be available for neurodivergent attendees seeking a quiet area to retreat to during the event.
Taste of Wisemans
10 am – 3 pm Sunday 27th September | Wisemans Ferry Park
A Taste of Wisemans is our gourmet food and wine event, which will showcase local wineries, distilleries, orchards and food vendors. The event will also feature live music and a range of free family-friendly activities, including cookie decorating, pony rides, face painting, a petting zoo and circus-themed workshops.
OBF Community Events
Hills Shire community groups are also running a range of events in association with Orange Blossom Festival throughout September and October, including Kenthurst Fair at John Benyon Rotary Park, Jazz at the Pines at Roughley House, and more.
