Balingup Events

A holiday in Balingup and the Blackwood River region gives you the opportunity
to be as active or inactive as you please.

Many Balingup events are held throughout the year and visitors will find a
diverse range.

Regular events cater for those who love gardens, and at other times there are art or music festivals.
Two of the most popular annual Balingup events are the Small Farm Field Day and the Medieval Carnivale.

The following are some of the major events in the region throughout the year.
