The Brighter Days Festival is a three-day, family-friendly fundraising event held over the March Labour Day weekend (6th - 8th March) in the beautiful township of Bright, Victoria.

Set within Pioneer Park, our Festival Precinct is an open-air, grassed venue - perfect for enjoying great music, family fun, classic cars and bikes under the Bright skies.

Bring your own chair or picnic rug, or take advantage of the Reserved Seating (RS) Area located directly in front of the stage (just behind the standing/dancing zone).

This exclusive area offers:

• A provided chair for the entire weekend
• Private bar and toilet facilities
• Allocated seating (book with friends or family to sit together)

👉 RS Passes can only be purchased online before midday, Thursday 5 March 2026.

Please note: every person, including children, requires a valid Reserved Seating ticket to enter this area.

General Admission (GA)

The remainder of the venue is unreserved General Admission, accessible with either:

• A 3-Day Festival GA Pass, or
• A Single-Day GA Pass (Friday, Saturday, or Sunday).

Each Festival GA Pass includes unlimited re-entry to the Festival Entertainment Precinct plus free entry into:

• The Car & Bike Show 'n Shine
• The Sounds of Silence Silent Disco
• The Amazing Chase
• The Pedal to Punkah

These activities have limited capacity - so register early online to avoid missing out!

Youth & Child Passes

Every attendee, regardless of age, must hold a valid ticket to enter the Festival Precinct.

To comply with our liquor licence and for everyone's safety:

• YOUTH GA PASS (15-17 years) - Available as 3-day or 1-day passes. At booking, the youth must provide a parent/guardian's name and contact details, and show photo ID when collecting their wristband.
• CHILD GA PASS (0-14 years) - Free, but still required for entry as all patrons count toward our total capacity. Register early to secure your child's ticket.
• As the Festival is a licensed venue, all under-18 patrons must be accompanied by a responsible adult each time they enter.

• BYO food is permitted, or enjoy the variety of Food Trucks and Retail Stalls on-site.
• Bag checks will be conducted by security at the Festival entrance.
• The precinct also features free kids' activities, amusements and rides, car & bike displays, and much more!
