The Renmark Rose Festival was the brainchild of Eithne Sidhu who collaborated with David Ruston to run the very first “Rose Week” in 1994. Eithne saw it as an event to bring people into the town and to promote Renmark as the Rose Capital of Australia. Today the Rose Festival has evolved into a major event and runs for 10 days, spans towns across the Riverland and provides a range of events and attractions

The Festival is held annually, commencing on the third weekend in October which is the optimum time in the region for experiencing the first spectacular spring rose blooms. A majority of the festivals events are conducted by the Renmark Rose Festival Committee which is a group of volunteers with a common love of Roses, Renmark and the Riverland.
