Easter in Beechworth

Reporter: Adrian

Over the past few years, things were very quiet in Beechworth due to the pandemic lockdowns. This year, however, there was a great turnaround. The weather was terrific with warm days, clear blue skies and cool nights. Autumn is well advanced with lovely colours of gold, red and tan everywhere. And to top things off was the Beechworth Golden Horseshoes Easter Festival.

Easter Saturday was the highlight with a huge market, featuring stalls with all kinds of merchandise, street music and a terrific street parade.  The parade comprised floats representing local businesses, support services, car clubs and many others. The town was packed with thousands of people - social distancing was problematic, and everyone had a great time.
