We are no longer offering the traditional early registration discounts to every participant.  However, we will be offering some cool draws for discounts and other Bathurst Fests prizes to those who are registered early and interact with our upcoming social media posts.  There will be a limited number of prizes that will only be available to people attending the 2026  Bathurst Fests weekend.  These discount and prizes may not be transferred to someone else or carried forward to another year.

The best way to take advantage of that is to join our public Facebook group, watch for posts, and register today!
