About this event
What to expect
Celebrate the start of the Riverina's iconic canola season at the Canola Gateway Festival, a vibrant two-day event in the historic railway town of Junee.
Centred around the beautifully restored Athenium Theatre and Memorial Park precinct, the festival brings together live music, regional food and wine, and rural heritage in a uniquely Riverina experience.
The weekend begins with the Golden Gateway Concert, where visitors can enjoy a relaxed "Golden Hour" gathering in the Athenium Green Space featuring local wine, regional grazing and acoustic music before heading inside the theatre for a headline concert performance.
On day two, Harvest Day transforms Junee's Memorial Park into a lively festival precinct with a farmers market showcasing local producers, heritage and motoring displays, and the Yellow Luncheon – a seasonal dining experience celebrating Riverina produce including Junee Lamb.
Whether you're following the Canola Trail, exploring regional NSW or looking for a memorable weekend away, the Gateway Festival offers the perfect way to experience the flavours, culture and community spirit of Junee.
