This August, the Orange Region invites you to fill your weekend – and your cup – with creativity, music and artistic outings.
From 1-10 August, the Fire Festival returns, glowing brighter each year with inspirational arts events to warm up the Winter season.
Fire Festival 2025 has attracted new talent, new ideas and events and a growing audience looking to ward off the winter gloom. There is plenty of familiar fun to be had in this region known primarily for food and wine – but the Orange Region Fire Festival has a firm focus on showcasing local creatives on every level. Artists, musicians, authors and performers have joined wine makers, chefs and venue hosts to create an exciting series of collaborations and festival events over the 10-day program.
The festival opener is the ever-popular Millthorpe Fire Fair. The Fire Fair centres along Millthorpe’s picture-perfect heritage listed Pym St. The streets are lit with fire pits and street entertainers, joined by local providores, wineries, cider makers, brewers and Millthorpe’s local businesses.
Good vibes are guaranteed with multiple sets of live music, marshmallow roasting, kid’s activities, late-night boutique shopping – all part of the attraction of the festival’s opening night. Friday 1st August.
“The elements of fire, warmth and light are threaded throughout the festival and the region’s growing artistic and cultural talent comes to the fore through a program brimming with new events and collaborations”. says Ned Sweetapple General Manager of Orange360.
“Food and wine venues become performance spaces and cultural venues open their doors to fire-inspired dining and performance, artisan events, artistic workshops, art exhibitions, wine events, storytelling and film screenings.”
“And, it wouldn’t be a Fire Festival without the fun and warmth of bonfires, outdoor fire pits and indoor open fires all made more alluring with welcoming Orange Region hospitality.” Ned added.
“Fire Festival is the Orange Region’s antidote to winter. We want locals and visitors to come out to play.” Ned said.
