The Castlemaine State Festival applauds our Patrons as our most passionate supporters. Your generous gifts enable us to deliver the unique, inspiring and thought-provoking festival we love so dearly.

In June 2020 we refreshed our Patrons Program to reflect the generous donations of our Patrons annually, acknowledging that the contributions reflect our continued growth outside our festival period.
