You’ll find giant paella pans from the team at ORA, smoked meats from Sticks n Bones BBQ, Abalone Pizzas from the team at the Distillery, seafood specials at The Brewhouse, plus Crayfish raffles, Gin tastings and a few salty surprises!

Armed with a bounty of delicious food, punters can feast to the sounds of some incredible local acts including organ-driven garage-psych outfit Beans (formerly Baked Beans), central Victorian sextet Bones and Jones, jazz-pop-reggae infused The Beachniks, Western Victorian rocket Libby Steel, local legends The Fillmores, Outtatime, the seasoned muso’s The Rank Outsiders, Jarosite plus DJ sets from Bevan Shmevan.
