Events & Attractions

While Tumbarumba may give the impression of a quiet country town, every now and then life is life is spiced up a bit with festivals, events, rodeos and shows.

Come and join the celebrations of music, food, wine and culture at TumbaFest, as well as the exciting New Year's Day Rodeo and the Tumbarumba Gold Cup Races.

Khancoban, at the south end of the shire annually hosts the exciting Upper Murray Challenge in October, and for the fishing enthusiast, the week long TroutFest in November.

Cellar doors, Artists on Parade Gallery, Gone Barny and Asgard Nursey, the Boggy Creek Show, the Tumbarumba Museum and the Pioneer Women's Hut provide some of the absorbing entertainment and browsing opportunites.
