The second Winter Fire Festival will see more wineries, restaurants and clubs partner up to host events centred around the tradition of sharing a yarn and a feast around a campfire.

This year, the Orange Readers and Writers Festival will join the celebration with workshops on August 1 and August 2, and five authors presenting on August 3.

While some festival events have already booked out, there are still Waissaling parties, concerts, masterclasses and festivals with tickets available.

Orange360's Emily Mann said they are looking to build on the success of last year.

"We've been really impressed with the range and breadth of events," she said.
