Gala Day is the high point of Bright Autumn Festival, falling this year on Saturday 2nd May 2020.

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.

Features of the day include (to be finalised):

  • 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.

More details of the day can be found in the program.

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 centre. 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? Community, sport and fair play.
