Horsham Rural City Council advises the community that Horsham RegFest 2026, which was scheduled to be held at Horsham City Oval on Saturday, 7 February 2026, has been postponed and Horsham Regfest will now take place on Saturday, 24 October 2026.
Event organiser RegFest Australia has made the decision following careful consideration of a range of challenges currently affecting regional Victoria, including the ongoing impacts of recent bushfires across the state. These conditions have affected travel, planning certainty and attendance, and have placed additional pressure on communities, artists, contractors and event organisers.
Horsham Rural City Council acknowledges the decision and supports RegFest Australia's commitment to community safety, wellbeing and the delivery of a high‑quality event experience.
Mayor Brian Klowss said Council understands the disappointment many community members may feel but recognises the importance of prioritising community safety and long‑term event sustainability.
"We know locals and visitors alike were really looking forward to RegFest, and this will be disappointing news for many," Cr Klowss said.
"However, with the ongoing impacts being felt across regional Victoria after recent bushfires, this decision puts community safety and wellbeing first. Council fully supports RegFest Australia and looks forward to hosting a great event in Horsham later in the year."
Council will continue to work with RegFest Australia and relevant stakeholders as planning progresses toward the new October event date.
