The Man from snowy River Festival

The Man from Snowy River Bush Festival brings the spirit of Australia’s high country to life in the scenic town of Corryong. This much-loved event celebrates bush heritage, horse culture, and the legends that shaped the region. Visitors can enjoy a colourful Street Parade, working-dog displays, bush poetry, live music, markets, and traditional skills that showcase the strength and character of rural Australia.

A major highlight is the renowned Stockman’s Challenge, where riders and their horses demonstrate exceptional horsemanship, cattle-handling skills, and true bushcraft. The dramatic re-enactment inspired by the famous poem adds heart-thumping excitement, honouring the grit and determination of the mountain stockmen who inspired the story. With rodeo action, art exhibitions, and family-friendly entertainment, the festival offers something for everyone.

More than just a celebration, the festival is a gathering of community and storytelling — a place where locals and visitors come together to share history, connect with the land, and enjoy the warm hospitality of the high country. It’s an unforgettable experience for anyone who loves tradition, horses, and the magic of the Australian bush.
