The Begonia Parade saw floats from a variety of community groups, such as the Afghan Ballarat Community, Ballarat Pipe Band, Sovereign Hill and the Ballarat African Association, among others.
Meanwhile, the gardens and foreshore were full of people enjoying the many stalls, activities and artworks which made up the festival.
The parade capped off another successful year for the annual Ballarat Begonia Festival, which returned in 2022 after a COVID-hiatus.
