ONE of Bendigo’s most loved Easter traditions will return, bigger and better, at the 2026 Bendigo Easter Festival.

Families are invited to join Vision Australia’s Easter Egg Hunt at Rosalind Park on Good Friday.

“More than 100,000 chocolate eggs will be hidden for over 4500 children to discover across 24 hunts throughout the day,” said Liz Bayrak, Vision Australia community fundraising coordinator.

“Designed to be inclusive and welcoming for all, this year’s event will feature accessible sensory and mobility-friendly hunts, created specifically for children who benefit from additional sensory, mobility or physical support.

“Adding to the excitement, Vision Australia’s Seeing Eye Dogs team will be on site, giving families the opportunity to meet the puppies and learn more about their life-changing work.

Easter egg hunts for different age groups will take place across various times from 9am to 5pm on Good Friday.

“All funds raised will support Vision Australia’s services in the Bendigo region, helping people who are blind or have low vision to live the life they choose.”

The hunts will take place at varying times throughout Good Friday between 9am and 5pm. Priced at $18, tickets are expected to sell quickly. Visit bendigoregion.com.au for tickets.

Vision Australia offers a wide range of services, equipment and training for people who are blind or have low vision.

Staff provide clients across all age groups with tools and skills to lead active, safe and independent lives at home, school, work and in the community.
