Saturday 10 June 2023: 9.45am-11am
This year’s theme is Moving Forward, but we can’t do that without honouring the past. Head to Spencer Park on Saturday morning for the Official Festival Opening where we pay tribute to musicians, venues, committees, volunteers and supporters from the last 40 years. Enjoy the live music, dancing, historic car display, live and more!
