This Labour weekend in October: Come experience real people playing real music. It’s your chance to try something new – get out of town and relax in beautiful Moore’s Valley. Experience a blissful blend of many styles of music and dance. Slow down - chat, eat, drink and be merry, with old friends and new.

Take charge of the Festival. Make it yours.

Are you ready to take on the Festival?
