# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Mansfield Lantern Festival 2026
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 19 Jun, 2026 at 05:00 am – Sun, 21 Jun, 2026 at 02:00 am (+10:00)
- **Event Description**: The Mansfield Lantern Festival is a three-day celebration of the winter solstice, held annually on the third weekend of June at the foot of snow-capped Mt Buller. What started as a small community gathering has grown into one of north east Victoria's most loved winter events - and the heart of it hasn't changed a bit.

The weekend kicks off on Friday evening with a Welcome to Country and firelight ceremony, lantern-making workshops, and a special food & wine night under the fairy lights. Local restaurants set their winter solstice menus, and the town feels like it's been lit from within.

Saturday night is what people come for. Hundreds of handmade lanterns - many crafted right here at the festival - move through the streets of Mansfield in the much-loved lantern parade. Open fires, live music, local food and drink, and the kind of collective warmth that's hard to find anywhere else.

Sunday morning closes the weekend gently, with a sunrise yoga session among the lanterns followed by a leisurely solstice brunch.

Get ready to grab your tickets, make a lantern, book a bed and come and see what winter in the High Country is really about.

19–21 June 2026 | Mansfield, Victoria
