Welcome to the 2024 Banjo Paterson Australian Poetry Festival
Join the communities of Orange and Cabonne in Central West NSW for 9 days of bush poetry events for their annual Banjo Paterson Australian Poetry Festival, taking place from the 17th - 25th February 2024.
Banjo Paterson was born in Orange on 17 February 1864 and what more fitting way to celebrate than to gather the best bush poets from across Australia in competition, entertainment and storytelling.
Put the dates in your diary and book accommodation early, as Orange has become a sought-after getaway destination. It offers great scenery, food and wine experiences, historic villages and lovely parks and gardens.
