Mount Gambier Eisteddfod 2024

Mount Gambier Eisteddfod – Sir Robert Helpmann Theatre & Wehl Street Theatre

The event will take place from Monday, July 8, 2024 to Saturday, August 10, 2024.

In 1978 a group of Mount Gambier people of various ages and backgrounds gathered to form an organisation, the common factor being their interest in promoting the performing arts in the South East region.

Backstage Incorporated is self-governing and all members work in a voluntary capacity. In 1982 the group undertook to produce the Mount Gambier Eisteddfod to encourage our young talent to enter in friendly competition to foster and improve fellowship, to appreciate the performances of others, and to benefit from public performance and the constructive criticism of an adjudicator.

The following performing arts eisteddfod will be held over July and August:

Dance – Sir Robert Helpmann Theatre – 08/07/2024-14/07/2024
