The Clarence Harvest Celebration is a vibrant, month-long festival that celebrates the Clarence Valley's proud agricultural heritage and community spirit. Reintroduced in 2025 after a 25-year hiatus, the festival pays tribute to the region's long-standing connection to the cane industry and, in 2026, expands to also honour its cattle and fishing traditions.
Visitors can enjoy a rich program of experiences that capture the essence of country life — from elegant evenings that celebrate local icons and traditions, to lively community gatherings filled with food, music, and laughter. Families can join in friendly competitions, explore local markets and crafts, and witness the return of the much-loved Billy Cart Derby. The festival also includes opportunities for young people to learn about careers in agriculture and for everyone to experience the magic of the Valley's landscapes through riverfront celebrations and glowing cane fires under the stars.
More than an event, the Clarence Harvest Celebration is a heartfelt tribute to the people, produce, and pride of the Clarence Valley — a time when the community comes together to share stories, celebrate heritage, and showcase the region's warm and welcoming spirit.
