Get ready to be enthralled by the breathtaking display of creativity, colour, and the resounding melodies of pipe bands as the stunning floats make their way down Prince St. Be prepared to have your senses awakened as the rhythmic beats and melodic tunes of the bagpipes echo through the streets, creating an electrifying atmosphere.

So, gather your friends and family, and immerse yourself in the beauty of the Grafton Jacaranda Festival and witness the celebration of our local business, schools, sporting and community groups.
