About Us
The Balingup Medieval Carnivale is held in the magical town of Balingup over the 4th weekend of August. The carnivale has evolved from a half day event outside the town hall in 1996 to a weekend full of medieval fun. We are proudly the largest and oldest medieval carnivale in Western Australia!
People come from far and wide to step back in time and experience everything medieval. It's very much a family affair with plenty to do whether you're young or old. The Burning of the Dragon on the Saturday night is not to be missed, driven on by the primal beat of the drums, the heartbeat of the carnivale.
