Winter Is Heating Up In The Orange Region

3 July, 2024 By Canowindra Phoenix Editor

The Millthorpe Fire Fair is just one one the many highlights of the Orange region Fire Festival.

Winter in the Orange region invites visi­tors to unwind, embrace the moment, and enjoy the warmth of companionship and a regional welcome. From August 2 to 11, the Fire Festival will ignite, showcasing the best of the Orange Region’s s artistic culture, against a captivating winter backdrop.

“Winter is a beautiful time to visit the Or­ange region. Chill air, and crisp days are countered by the warm welcome and win­ter comforts that greet our visitors. The Region’s wine, food, culture and events provide the perfect winter getaway, inviting visitors to disconnect for a moment, recon­nect friends and family, and enjoy the pre­sent,” shares Ned Sweetapple, General Manager of Orange360.

The Fire Festival is a true showcase of the region’s vibrant community of artists, musi­cians, chefs, and winemakers. This year’s event features a diverse array of unique ex­periences that showcase the region’s best, enriched with artistic elements and perfor­mances. From the cozy charm of local ca­fes and bars to the inviting cellar doors and restaurants, the festival offers a plethora of experiences designed to make your winter unforgettable.

“Gather around fire pits, meet our regions most talented artists, listen to stories and enjoy freshly prepared seasonal dishes paired with bold local wines. It’s an experi­ence that not only warms you up but also connects you deeply with the essence of our region”, adds Mali Williams, Orange360, Events Manager.

The festival’s opening night will see the streets of Millthorpe come to life once again for the Millthorpe Fire Fair, and Eugowra will maintain the glow at Woodfired on Satur­day 3 August for an afternoon for the whole family by the Mandagery Creek”. With local artists, musicians, and performers bringing their creativity and energy to every event, the Fire Festival truly embodies the spirit of the community.
