Balingup Medieval Carnivale | Balingup Medieval Carnivale

Thank You to everyone who attended, helped and supported us to make this a wonderful 2023 event!

See you in 2024!!!

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 Drummers, the heartbeat of the carnivale.

The Balingup Medieval Carnivale Committee is a not-for-profit subcommittee of the Balingup Progress Association (BPA). The BMC fund the event mainly through gate takings and stall holder payments, with surpluses returned to the Balingup community through the BPA.
