The story

Griffith Spring Fest in Griffith

Griffith Spring Fest centers on a citrus sculpture display along Banna Avenue, built each October from more than 100,000 locally grown oranges and grapefruit into over sixty designs. The roughly two-week festival, running alongside market stalls, live music and a community parade, showcases Griffith's identity as an irrigation-fed, Italian-Australian citrus and wine district in the Riverina.

Griffith turns its citrus harvest into public art each spring, and the centerpiece of Griffith Spring Fest is a run of citrus sculptures built along Banna Avenue, the town's wide Riverina main street, using well over 100,000 locally grown oranges and grapefruit stacked, carved and arranged into more than sixty distinct designs.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The sculptures are the draw: rather than generic festival decorations, Griffith turns its own citrus harvest, over 100,000 oranges and grapefruit, into more than sixty public artworks along Banna Avenue, a display unmatched by any other Riverina town's spring event

02

The mystery stays covered

Produced largely by local growers and community groups, the sculptures double as a direct showcase of the district's postwar Italian-Australian farming identity

03

The city starts moving

Combined with market stalls selling citrus, wine and olive oil straight from local producers, the festival offers a concentrated, edible introduction to Griffith's agricultural character in a single walkable stretch of the town's main street
