Goldfields Gothic Festival of Dark ideas

Hailed as Australia's weirdest festival, Goldfields Gothic Festival of Dark Ideas returns in August, celebrating the dark side of the goldfields in all its gruesome glory.

Inspired by the dark undercurrent of the 1850s Victorian Goldfields and intriguing stories of the past, Goldfields Gothic showcases the dark side of the goldfields in all its gruesome glory.

Maldon’s infamous Goldfields Gothic Festival of Dark Ideas returns with many eerie events on offer include ghost tours, cemetery tours, themed food experiences, workshops and performances plus talks on death, goldfields history and the shadowy side of life.

Highlights of the program include an exclusive performance by iconic Australian new wave band Real Life (Remember their hit song “Send Me An Angel”?) and the mysteriously magical Sass and Secrets featuring Australia’s most renowned female magician and mentalist Cath Jamison.
