What is Bathurst Summerfest?

Summerfest is back, and it’s going to be a blast! Bathurst Summerfest is an annual week of summer fun for the family. Summerfest has been running each January in Bathurst for over 20 years. Hundreds of children ranging from pre-school, primary and youth spend a week together learning from the Bible, making friends, singing songs, playing games and making craft. There’s something for everyone and it is totally free!

Get ready to mark your calendars for five days of fun from Monday, January 12th to Friday, January 16th, 2026. Right in the middle of your school holidays.

This year, we’ve got something super special for you – Come along to hear about God’s Rescue Mission. We’ll be spending 5 days reading the Bible and exploring what God’s rescue mission is and why we need it. 

So, get ready to have a blast, make new friends, and learn about Jesus in the most exciting way possible. Spread the word, invite your pals, and let’s get excited for Summerfest 2026 🌟🎉
