Events

The Balingup Small Farm Field Day is the most popular event held in our community, with over 10,000 people enjoying the day on the town oval.  Over 300 stalls, plus information and demonstration booths give everyone an opportunity to learn how to live the 'good life' away from the city.  Guided small farm and "tree-change" tours are conducted for a small extra fee.  Practical demonstrations include a Blacksmith, a Farrier, fence building, and greenwood turning on a pole lathe.  Early in April the town comes alive with the Small Farm Field Day symbol, the scarecrow. Admission is $5 for adults and $2 for children.
For more information see the Small Farm Field Day site.

Held on the 4th weekend in August.
The Carnivale represents a celebration of the richness of our vital, diverse and active community.  There is a street parade, jousting, jesters, music, stalls and lots of entertainment and merriment.  Regular entertainers include 'The Grey Company', 'Medieval Mayhem' and the 'Belles of Bagdad'.  Both town residents and visitors come dressed appropriately and join in the spirit of the day.  Beginning in 2005, the Carnivale has become a 2 day event (Sat-Sun) and is held in the grounds of the Balingup Community Centre.A small entrance fee applies.
