The 30th Riverland Rose & Garden Festival will be held over 10 days in 2024, from October 18th to 27th, with open gardens and supporting events held throughout the region over that period. October is the optimum time in the region for experiencing the first spectacular spring rose blooms and this will be the 30th year that the festival has been held.

Each year the Riverland Rose & Garden Festival Committee is committed to looking at new and exciting initiatives to complement the existing festival’s events and activities and the festival has a constantly changing array of open gardens to enjoy, spread out over numerous towns throughout the Riverland. In this, we hope to keep the Riverland Rose & Garden Festival as fresh and vibrant as our wonderful roses.

The Renmark township’s rose gardens provide a spectacular backdrop and are immaculately presented during the Rose Festival thanks to the Renmark Paringa Council. There are over 50 garden beds consisting of in excess of 3,500 rose bushes spread throughout the town and it is well worth taking a walking tour to discover them.

The Riverland Rose & Garden Festival is a celebration of the region and its communities. It is an opportunity to showcase the region’s produce, enjoy our spectacular weather and experience the beauty of the magnificent Murray River.
