✨ We’re getting ready for Grazing Down the Lachlan 2026 ✨

We’ve started to imagine what a spring day by the Lachlan might look like — tables under the trees, shared plates, local flavours, and that easy wander‑and‑graze feeling we all love.

If that sounds like your kind of day, give us a ❤️ and stay close as plans begin to take shape.

In September 2023, Grazing Down the Lachlan celebrated its fifth year with 550 guests enjoying a showcase of the region's best food, culture, art, entertainment and history 🌿

The fundraising event generated $45,000 for the Forbes Arts Society and injected $400,000 into the local economy!

After careful consideration over the last eight months, Team Grazing has decided not to hold Grazing Down the Lachlan in 2024.

This decision was not made lightly as Grazing remains a very special event for the volunteer committee, and we know many of you look forward to it as a staple event on the Amazing Forbes calendar.

Rest assured, we will continue to work behind the scenes to refresh the event format and bring Grazing Down the Lachlan back in future years.

Thank you to our sponsors, volunteers and community for your continued support of this unique foodie adventure.

See you in 2025!
