Forbes Eisteddfod

Forbes Eisteddfod is a community performing arts event in Forbes, Australia, welcoming participants and audiences to celebrate creativity in a safe, friendly environment. Run by the Forbes Eisteddfod Committee, it encourages local people to sing, dance, play music and perform, and offers sections across dance, choirs, music and speech and drama. The annual program provides opportunities for performers to take part and for the community to enjoy a range of artistic disciplines. Entries are accepted through the event’s registration process, with deadlines published for different sections, including dance.

During the 2026 dance eisteddfod, food and beverages will be available from local businesses and community groups. The Forbes Lions Club is scheduled to serve a barbecue on July 11, while Simply Scrumptious will offer meals and refreshments from July 8 to 11, including soups, sandwiches, baked goods, fresh juice and hot drinks. The website also provides event dates, a syllabus, program information, volunteer details and contact information, helping participants and visitors plan their involvement.
