Day of the Dead Festival – Australian Hotel Ballina

Get ready for four days of live music, entertainment and colourful celebrations as the Australian Hotel Ballina brings back its annual Day of the Dead Festival!

Inspired by Mexico's famous Día de los Muertos celebrations, this vibrant festival transforms the Australian Hotel into a lively hub of music, food and festivities. Enjoy an exciting mix of live bands, DJs, delicious Cantina-style eats and plenty of colour across the four-day celebration.

With Halloween falling on Saturday, it's the perfect excuse to get creative with costumes and face paint and join in the festivities. Sunday brings a family-friendly atmosphere, with activities and entertainment for the little ones too.

Whether you're heading out for live music, catching up with friends or bringing the family along, the Day of the Dead Festival promises a fun-filled long weekend of celebrations in the heart of Ballina.

The full entertainment line-up is yet to be announced, so keep an eye on the Australian Hotel's website and social media for updates.
