The Bendigo community events calendar opens its July 13 to 19 listings with a winter market at the Bendigo Town Hall on Hargreaves Street this Monday evening.

July marks the mid-point of the financial year for many local groups that rely on these gatherings to raise funds and recruit volunteers. Council records show participation in community programs has risen steadily since the 2023 reopening of indoor venues after earlier restrictions.

This Week's Highlights

Organisers at the Bendigo Library on Williamson Street will host a free morning tea and book swap on Wednesday while the Bendigo Historical Society runs a guided walk through Rosalind Park on Friday afternoon starting at the conservatory. Both programs appear on the printed calendar distributed at the visitor centre on Lyttleton Terrace.

Attendance at last year's July community events totalled 4,872 people across twelve sessions, according to figures released by the City of Greater Bendigo. Entry to most listed activities costs between five and twelve dollars with several free options for concession holders.

Next Steps

Pick up a printed copy at the visitor centre or check the council website for any last-minute venue changes before heading out.
