Have you ever been part of the Easter Parade down Ford Street? Whether you joined a group, built a float, or watched the festivities, this beloved parade has a rich history.

For nearly 100 years, it’s featured moments like Daniel Cameron riding horses with golden horseshoes and Beechworth Bakery tossing dough into the crowd.

In 2026, we’ll be hosting a special retrospective. If you have photos, films, or memorabilia, we’d love to see them!
