The Big Rainbow

Home to the annual ChillOut festival, Daylesford is known as the rainbow capital of regional Victoria and has been an integral part of the state's LGBTQIA+ history for more than 50 years.

For that reason, in 2022 the town was selected from a shortlist of four locations around Australia to host The Big Rainbow – a worthy addition to Australia's list of 'Big Things' and a monument to the power of regional pride.

Hepburn Shire Council invited feedback from the community as to where The Big Rainbow should be located, and Victoria Park was chosen. It's just a short drive from the centre of town and is the perfect spot for a picnic. Make sure you snap a selfie under the giant multi-coloured arch.
