In autumn, each town celebrates its local show, with entrants competing in everything from floral arranging and photography, to equestrian events and the stockman’s challenge, to baking, jam-making and vegetable growing. It’s a celebration of the best each town has to offer. Tumut hosts the family-friendly music festival Rock the Turf, the Festival of the Falling Leaf, and Tumut MTB’s 3 Hour Enduro. Adelong plays host to the Snowy Valleys Cycle Challenge, which sees cyclists ride 144km from Adelong via Batlow to Tumbarumba and back, and Batlow celebrates Batlow CiderFest, our region’s biggest tourism event.
