The Ballarat Beard & Stache Competition is an annual event celebrating all forms of facial hair.
There’s a category for everyone whether it be a styled moustache or a beard big enough to get caught in your fly. You’ll find an array of entertainment for both competitors and spectators including live music, craft beers, whisky tastings and plenty of delicious food.
The Ballarat Beard & Stache Competition is a feature of the Ballarat Heritage Weekend and highlights the rich history Ballarat and its bearded pioneers of the past and present have to share.
Embrace the growth and stash the razor — it’s time to let it grow!
