Empress Stiltdance has been an entertainment leader for the last 30 years. Their botanically inspired stilt acts have performed in over 25 different countries, delighting the kid 'inside every adult' wherever they go. The roving garden that is Empress presents unique giant characters delivered with elegance and style. They love garden festivals and all things floral. Being here at the Ballarat Begonia Festival for the second year in a row - is a dream come true for them!

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.

©️ 2025 Visit Ballarat. This initiative is funded by the City of Ballarat and Tourism Midwest Victoria.
