On October 4–5 at the Colac Showgrounds, Walk the Walk Festival is back for another incredible 24-hour relay event.

This isn’t just about walking, it’s about our whole community coming together, raising awareness for mental health, and showing that we’re stronger when we walk side by side.

🌙 Teams take turns on the track across the 24 hours (or 12!) whether you’re out for one lap or many, every step counts.

🎶 With entertainment, food, and activities happening throughout the weekend, it’s more than a walk — it’s a festival.

💙 Funds raised stay right here to support local mental health initiatives.

Now we just need you!

Round up your mates, your workplace, your sports club, or your family team and register today. Together, we can make this year bigger, brighter, and stronger than ever.

👉 Sign up now and be part of something truly powerful.

🎶 Youth Fest is Here! 🎨

September is Youth Fest – a month-long Art & Music celebration across Victoria – and Colac is joining in!

Our History Centre windows are bursting with memories of Colac’s music scene – past and present. 🎸🥁🎤

Maree, Karen and Liz have gathered over 70 photos of local bands, singers and musicians, plus instruments and memorabilia that will take you right back in time – hairstyles, clothes, guitars and all!

📽️ Don’t miss it: We’ve loaded a special slideshow onto our brand-new big screen at COPACC. Pull up a chair and enjoy it for free.

💛 Huge thanks to Jill, Chelsea, and everyone who has shared photos so far – and we’d still love more!

📩 Message us if you have pics or memories to add.
