For this extended week-end the town bursts from a population of about 1400 to over 20,000. That this festival is such a resounding success is due to the huge volunteer base that assists with all facets of the festival. Well done Corryong!
It is a simple formula - buy a wristband ticket and you can go to all the events over the period - the re-enactment of the poem of title, the return of Riley's Ride, the parade, the rodeo, horsemanship skills by the hundreds, art show, bush poetry championships, dog jumping, whip cracking, live music with top country music acts, bush markets, food & merchandise stalls, a ute muster, a talent quest and more.
If you can't have a good time in Corryong during the festival then you are not trying.

The Man from Snowy River Bush Festival is a wonderful celebration of Australia's bush heritage. You shouldn't miss it!
