Held in the heart of historic Lydiard Street Ballarat, Ballarat Beat is a big, loud and raucous booty-shaking celebration of all things rockabilly.
There will be plenty of cool tunes from The Hillbilly Hellcats, Ol’ 55, Rosie & the Mighty Kings, The Jive Cats and The Lincolns, a street party, trade stalls, dance competitions and Tiki bar, plus the Ballarat Beat pin-up competition.
The festival kicks off today, February 9, and runs through until February 12. You can check out ballaratbeat.com.au, or just take a chance and head down. You can’t lose.
