Gala Day is the high point of Bright Autumn Festival, falling this year on Saturday 30 April 2022.
Bright’s central business district is opened up exclusively for visitors for the Gala Day Carnival.
This year we will be celebrating the life of Al Findlay who had such a significant impact on the development of the community over 30 years, youth specifically. Look for the tribute.

- Bright Rotary Market from 9am – 1pm
- The Autumn Festival Parade from 1:45pm
- Live music
- Bright’s Got Talent at the Sibley Sound Shell
- Kiddies Korner
- Along with Annual Art Exhibition at the Bright Art Gallery and the open gardens, it is an exciting day to celebrate all the colour of autumn.

Bright Rotary Market and Gala Parade
The market has loads of stalls, food vendors and live music and has a wonderful atmosphere as hundreds of Visitors come to town for the market and the ensuing parade. The parade kicks of after the markets and is a fantastic celebration from the many groups that make up the vibrant community of Bright.
Gala Parade Theme
Every year schools, businesses, community groups, motivated individuals and the odd person who has lost a bet, enter a float in the annual Gala Parade through the Bright town center. It’s an exciting time with teams battling it out for one of the six cash prizes.
Hours and hours of preparation for some (and not so many for others) come together for a proud display of community spirit.
This year’s theme?
The Olympic Spirit
Pick anything you like celebrating the Olympic spirit or the Olympic movement in general. Countries, sports, summer or winter, it’s up to you.
There are prizes – so have a go!
Entries for the Parade are now open. Skip, hop and jump over the Entry Form to enter.
Thanks to the Businesses and Volunteers who make this Parade possible.
