The Golden Horseshoes Festival recreates the occasion where a horse shod with golden shoes was ridden into town by political aspirant Daniel Cameron on the nomination day of Victoria' first parliamentary elections. His famous 1855 ride through the streets of Beechworth proved a crowd pleaser; he was duly elected to parliament.
The Golden Horseshoes Festival Committee is keen to hear from anyone interested in participating in the produce market or motorbike display to contact event co-ordinator Adam Fendyk on (03) 5722 2343 or 0428 510 525.
Nestled amongst a dreamy cottage garden is a fully self contained three bedroom house. Breakfast provisions are provided and children are welcome.
