Orange's biggest street party is back with a bang. Zest Fest 2025 will transform Robertson Park and the heart of Orange, including Byng Street, Lords Place and McNamara Street, on Saturday 1 November 2025, headlined by some of Australia's most exciting contemporary acts.
This year's main stage will feature San Cisco, Alex Lahey, George Alice, Adam Newling and Maddy Jane, a lineup that blends chart-topping favourites with breakthrough artists set to light up the stage. Alongside them, a dedicated Live and Local stage will showcase incredible talent from across the Orange 360 region, making Zest Fest a true celebration of community and creativity.
Orange Mayor Toni Mileto said the lineup highlights the festival's growing reputation as a cultural drawcard for the region.
"Zest Fest has quickly become a flagship event for Orange. It is a day where we celebrate not just our local food, wine and community, but also world-class contemporary music," Cr Mileto said.
"This year's lineup is our biggest yet, and with two stages of live performances we're delivering something for everyone: from music lovers travelling in, to families looking for a great day out. Zest Fest is about putting Orange on the map as a vibrant, creative regional city."
Minister for Transport John Graham said:
"Zest Fest has proven to be a popular, family friendly event which brings together local community, boost tourism and assist businesses in Orange.
"I would personally like to thank everyone for their ongoing support of this event."
The free, family-friendly festival will also feature:
- Food and wine stalls from Orange's celebrated local producers
