Thanks to everyone who filled out our post-festival survey! The $100 PAK’nSAVE Warkworth voucher goes to Zac Farmiloe. Sounds like we're on the right track with what the event is offering with room for a few tweaks to make it really hum. Unfortunately not a lot we can do about the weather🤪but we are trying really hard to make it as affordable as possible.

One week on... what an epic start we had to the winter school holidays! The rain certainly didn't dampen all the fun we had in Warkworth.

Check out this year's highlights video thanks to Aidan Burridge Visuals - we can't wait to do it all again in 2027!

We have to say a massive thankyou to Dave and the team at Davco Electrical Services! Every year, since the festival started, they are there to make sure the trees on the wharf are lit up, power for the stage, lights, food vendors, amusement rides and everything that powers the festival! We simply couldn't do it without their hard work and community commitment! Need electrical work? They are your local electrical experts!
