Benalla Street Art Festival

The Benalla Street Art Festival 2025 was a blast!

The streets were buzzing with color, creativity, and culture, making it a weekend to remember. But guess what? We’re already gearing up for Benalla Street Art Festival 2026!

Save the Date: 17 – 19 April 2026.

Benalla’s been rocking the street art scene since 2015, and this year was no exception. With 85 epic murals already gracing our walls, we added 10 more jaw-dropping pieces to our collection. Festival Curator, Eddie Zammit, brought 10 of the best street artists in the business, infusing fresh energy and diverse stories into every corner of the Rural City.

The festival wasn’t just about the art; it was about the community vibe. The streets were alive with fringe events, interactive activities, and endless fun. It was the perfect chance to see the art in everything, uncover hidden gems, and dive deep into the creative culture of regional Victoria.

Finley - NSW RVFT

You will find all the facilities required to support you through your travels when stopping at, or even just passing through this lovely town.

Development resulted in the two major highways (the Newell and Riverina) that intersect at Finely, strategically positioning the town to grow and support the surrounding agricultural community. The Mulwala Canal passes Finley carrying water from the Murray River, and the Wheels of Prosperity sculpture in the parklands surrounding the lake symbolises the importance of irrigation to the town.Those visiting the town can find short term parking at Endeavour Railway Precinct and stays up to 24 hours is permitted. Potable water is available at this location and a dump point can be found at Finley Showground.
