Bourke Shire Council is inviting community groups, clubs and local businesses to be part of planning the 2026 Back O’ Bourke Easter Festival, happening from April 3 to 6.

A planning meeting will be held on Wednesday January 21, starting at 5:30pm, at the Bourke Shire Council Chambers.

If you have an idea for an Easter event — or can help run one — your involvement is encouraged. The more groups involved, the bigger and better the festival will be.

If you can’t attend but would still like to be involved, contact Mel Milgate, Manager Economic Development, on 0487 221 936.
