The festival is best described as vibrant yet relaxed. You can throw a rug under the bright flag sails and absorb every second of the music from Friday evening, all day Saturday, to sunset on Sunday.
They always aim to promote our local artists, giving them the experience to play alongside the bigger names that are larger than life on stage at night… and some of our local artists have gone a long way from Wingham to Nashville!
