This year, Ballarat’s annual Sunday sessions will feature an impressive range of local musicians, emerging artists, and household names, with more than half of the performers hailing from Ballarat. This year’s showcase will also feature a great mixture of local, First Nations and culturally diverse performers.
Each Sunday will see four different acts on-stage between 4pm-8pm, with the traditional spectacular fireworks display to cap off the 14 January show at 9.30pm over Lake Wendouree (subject to weather conditions).
Returning in 2024 will be an expanded array of local and regional food and beverage vendors, with about 10 different food trucks on hand offering a range of cuisine at each Summer Sundays event. The pop-up Garden Bar will also return, highlighting some of the Ballarat region’s best wine, spirit, and beer producers.
And of course, the Bean Bag Lounge will also be back to provide an extra layer of comfort, although numbers are limited. Patrons are welcome to bring their own rug and picnic.
