Where to start? The weekend kicks off with a fun run at Lake Wyangan.
The Bacchus Family Fun Run - one of the oldest fun runs in Australia - is organised by the (friendly) Feral Joggers.
No matter which track you take, out by the lake first thing in the morning, it's a great place to start your Easter family fun.
After some breakfast, head up to Pioneer Park Museum on Scenic Hill.
This fantastic open-air museum set on 11 hectares of picturesque bushland operates with all the bells and whistles on Good Friday.
The steam engines rumble to life, Tango Joes store will be open for business, there will be great horsemanship skills on display, coach rides, vintage vehicles, pony rides, blacksmithing and more.
Grab a bite to eat at any one of Griffith's fantastic pizza cafes - great places for families and friends to gather - either inside or out.
If you don't like Italian, don't despair the clubs offer great bistros and seafood nights and there are many more restaurants offering cuisines from around the globe.
On Saturday, head to Banna Avenue for the sidewalk sale, children's brunch and games in the park, and acreative family fun day as the Regional Gallery spills into the park with creative hands-on fun.
There will be many free activities for little people, including an egg hunt.
Saturday afternoon is the annual Griffith Vintage Festival, a great fusion of local wine, local food vendors and live music on the lawns of the old Miranda Wines site.
On Sunday the pace slows down. You are invited to explore the winery cellar doors of the region.
Discover less known Italian varietals such as Fiano and Nero D'Avola, sample the local Prosecco and enjoy the region's Durif. Relax with friends in the winery gardens with wine and antipasto plates and enjoy the balmy autumn weather.
Don't forget your basket to stock up with honey, oranges and biscotti at the Easter Rotary produce and craft market on Easter Thursday.
