For a gold-coin donation, which sees proceeds proudly supporting the Colac Area Health Foundation’s Long Road Appeal—raising funds to build a new Colac Area Health Wellbeing Centre – the Otways Winter Festival In Spring promises a delicious day. Expect stall holders slinging the best food and drinks, regional produce, and local delights. Adding to the experience is live entertainment and activities for all ages.

The Otways Winter Festival In Spring is a brilliant chance to experience the Otways’ diverse offering in creativity and culinary categories, but it’s also a chance to bring the community together in a glimpse of community generosity.

Foundation Executive Officer Ami Hillege says the event is a great example of how the community can come together for a good cause.

“The Otways Winter Festival is about celebrating everything we love about our region—great food, great people, and a shared commitment to keeping quality care close to home,” Hillege says. “Every dollar raised helps us take another step toward building a Wellbeing Centre that will support health and wellbeing for generations to come.”

Visitors are encouraged to bring friends and family (though fur babies are not permitted), enjoy the festivities, and help build better health—together.
