Benalla Rural City has firmly established itself as one of Australia’s premier destinations for street art, thanks to the festival’s unique ability to unite world-class artists and local talent.
This year, our town will once again be transformed into an open-air gallery, showcasing bold murals and captivating installations that tell stories, spark imagination and strengthen the bonds within our community.

The Benalla Street Art Festival isn't just about art, it’s about the people who bring it to life and those who come together to celebrate it.
It is a testament to how public art can inspire, bridge divides and foster a deep sense of belonging.
Thank you to Visit Victoria’s Regional Events Fund for supporting this incredible event.
Partnerships like this highlight the ways events of this calibre enrich our cultural landscape while driving tourism and supporting local businesses, cementing Victoria as Australia’s creative heart.
Fringe events are also an integral part of the festival. They serve as a reminder of the strength and diversity of our local community.
Benalla has become a canvas for murals of all shapes, sizes, styles and themes.
Whether it’s a performance, a workshop or a community project, these events provide platforms for connection, learning and celebration.
I encourage everyone to:
Explore the stunning artworks throughout Benalla Rural City.
Engage with the artists and hear their stories.
Take the time to enjoy everything our beautiful region has to offer.
Together, we can make this year’s festival a memorable experience that reflects not just the talent of the artists, but the unity and strength of our wonderful community.
