New Bus Service Fired Up For Frost And Fire

May 28, 2026 by Roxane Manley

Forbes’ Frost & Fire is the ultimate winter party – rug up, fire up and get ready for Frost and Fire 2026.

Getting to Forbes’ most magical winter event just got even easier. For the first time, return bus services will operate from neigh­bouring towns, making it simple for visitors to travel to and from Topsoil Organics 2026 Frost & Fire without the hassle of driving orfinding a park.

New bus routes will run from:

• Parkes sponsored by Parkes Shire Council

• Cowra via Gooloogong

• Canowindra via Eugowra

Visitors travelling on these neighbouring town bus services will be dropped directly at the Forbes Ski Dam, making the journey seamless from start to finish.

For locals and those visitors staying in Forbes, a free hop-on, hop-off shuttle ser­vice will operate with 10 bus stops around town, running all night to and from the event site.

With no public parking available on site, the expanded bus network offers a safe and convenient way to enjoy the event – leaving more time to soak up the fire pits, food, en­tertainment and winter magic. Prams, camp chairs, picnic blankets and winter woollies are all welcome on board.

Forbes Shire Mayor, Phyllis Miller OAM says the new transport options improve ac­cess while reducing congestion around the event site. “Importantly, fewer cars on site also means safer roads and a safer festival experience for everyone” the Mayor added.

Gates open from 3.30pm, with live music and entertainment kicking off at 4pm until 10pm. Bus timetables and tickets are avail­able from 123tix.com.

Festival Friends are encouraged to se­cure their tickets, book accommodation and lock in transport now. Be sure to arrive early to snap a cosy spot near the bonfires.

Get in touch with the Forbes Visitor Infor­mation team on (02) 6852 4155 to help you plan your Frost and Fire weekend.
