Akoostik Music Festival Spokesperson, Donna Ballard, said: “This year we are excited to hold Akoostik at the Wingham Showground for the first time, thanks to the support of the Wingham Show Society. We are accessing the heritage pavilions on site to offer a choir workshop with acclaimed choral conductor Rachel Hore, and opening a third stage ‘The Akoostik Lounge’.”
“We can now offer caravan and camping options for festival attendees, enabling more people to prolong the festival atmosphere and jam around the campfire. For those that enjoy more upmarket accommodation, we recommend the Bank Guesthouse, Manning House, Wingham Golf Club Motor Inn and Wingham Motel.
“The relaxed festival environment makes it possible for up close and personal encounters with the artists, all at a bargain price, thanks to our generous sponsors,” Ms Ballard said.
The uniqueness of this festival makes it one of only a few music events within the region that has been awarded Regional Flagship Event status, as a key tourism event on the NSW Events Calendar. Through the extraordinary commitment and efforts of its committee and volunteers, Akoostik has a well-deserved reputation for delivering a meticulously co-ordinated and professionally run community event.
“We are fortunate that Arts Mid North Coast, the peak body for regional arts and cultural development across seven local government areas from Great Lakes to Coffs Harbour, has had a long and positive association with the Festival and highly values its contribution to our region’s communities” said Donna.
Festival gates open 9.30am each day, and more than 40 artists across the two days will perform on three stages amongst food and market stalls that feature hand-made and hand-grown goodies.
