The story

Golden Plains Festival in Meredith

Golden Plains Festival brings a Labour Day long weekend edition to the same Supernatural Amphitheatre used by its sister event Meredith Music Festival, with a distinct autumn lineup leaning into left-field electronic and psychedelic bookings. The costumed Golden Plains Gift foot race and sunrise sets on the final morning are signature moments.

The same natural amphitheatre that hosts Meredith Music Festival each December turns over to its sister event each March, a Labour Day long weekend festival with its own distinct lineup, season and following.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Sharing its venue and organisers with Meredith Music Festival but running on a different weekend with its own lineup gives Golden Plains a genuinely distinct identity rather than functioning as a rebranded repeat

02

The mystery stays covered

Sunrise sets on the amphitheatre's final morning have become a particular festival highlight, with the natural bowl setting catching early light in a way regular attendees describe as one of the event's most memorable traditions

03

The city starts moving

Like Meredith, it maintains a no-sponsorship-signage policy that is unusual among festivals of comparable scale

What moves first

Living ritual

The Golden Plains Gift costumed foot race and sunrise sets on the amphitheatre's final morning have become the festival's defining rituals since it began in 2001
