Ripple Fest will take you all the way to Rochester and Echuca, so if you haven't been to the beautiful Echuca for a while, now might be a good time to revisit/visit the region that's home to the world's largest operating paddlesteamer fleet, and the world's oldest operating wooden hulled paddlesteamer, the 1866 built PS Adelaide. Around half an hour away from Echuca is Rochester , which has its own charms with the Campaspe River right at your fingertips, Art and Murals throughout the town, a one-of-a-kind sports museum and the most breathtaking Silo Art. Take your time, make your plans, and have a little mini-holiday away for a few days.

A four-day multi-arts Festival from 22-25 May 2025, Ripple Fest unites Echuca and Rochester through creativity, connection and celebration. A collab with the local creatives, there's an exciting lineup of events across both towns. There are free events spattered amidst the program. Just check out all the details on the website . Rochester will have a costume and mask parade and ball, striking projections, a Skate Park graffiti wall event with workshops and DJs playing live, music in pubs, and a variety of creative workshops. Echuca will also have live music and a river light show at the Port, bands playing at local pubs, exhibitions at the Pump House and The Foundry Arts Space, including the closing event. A special Bangarra Dance Company – Rekindling demonstration, an immersive Aquatic Reserve event featuring dance, music and a special river procession will be held at the Pump House.
