John Moffat Festival Irvinebank
O
ur Top Pick this month is the annual John Moffat Festival
at Irvinebank on 3–5 August. This is the country festival
that provides the perfect excuse to head out to Irvinebank
and discover—or rediscover—all it has to offer.
Friday's events start with live music and a three-course meal
at the Irvinebank Tavern. Duo SoulButter will entertain the
crowds with a mix of Soul, Folk, Roots and Jazz performing
classic and modern covers.
The entertainment continues on Saturday from 10am with
family fun and entertainment including market stalls, tug-
o-war, a fire truck pull, and novelty events plus music from
local performer Dave Kirk. Coach tours of the town are also
on offer Saturday. End the day with a meal at the Tavern and
enjoy live music by Chev Wilson.
Sunday kicks off with a Rural Fire Brigade breakfast from
8am. At 10.30am and 1.30pm tour the heritage buildings and
old mill. Tours are just $15 per person (closed-in footwear
is required plus a hat and water). Numbers are limited and
bookings essential so call Peter 4096 4020 or Sue 4096 4176
to avoid disappointment.
Sunday lunch is provided by the Irvinebank State School P&C
in the Tavern Beer Garden raising funds to help send the kids
to Canberra on a trip.
Stall holders are invited and encouraged to bring their
market stall for the weekend to sell their wares.
FREE camping and hot showers is available in the park.
A great weekend for the whole family!
