Commerce Ballarat is thrilled to present the B31 August Business Festival, a month-long celebration of business development, networking, and growth. In 2026 we’ll curate a diverse lineup of opportunities, events, seminars, round tables, breakfasts and much more to ensure there’s something for everyone.

The program will not only highlight these exciting events but also features a comprehensive business directory. This includes local dining, accommodation, meeting facilities, tourist attractions, and catering options to help those travelling from out of town make the most of their visit.

Explore the unique corporate experiences that offer something different throughout the month.

The 2026 program will be released next year mid-July. 

Whether you’re a business owner, an employee, or just starting out B31 has something for you!
