Bright Brewery's winter festival Darker Days is back with craft beer, live music and alpine mayhem.
Darker Days 2026 will take over Bright Brewery for a full weekend of bold brews, 10 hours of live music and enough fire to keep the cold at bay. The Grogans headline a six-act bill that also features RAGEFLOWER, Five Buck Kid, Sophie Kelly, Lennon Paul and Matt O’Gorman.
Bright’s biggest winter beer fest is coming up, warming punters from within with dancing, music, brewery tours, food trucks, entertainment and plenty of curious and delicious froths. Now in its eighth year, the community event will bring the quiet alpine town to life on Saturday 20 June.
Whether you’re already out regional or you’re up for a little weekend trip (Bright’s about a 3.5 hour drive from Melbourne), the festival offers the chance to check out one of Victoria’s most picturesque winter towns and sample a few local beers while you’re at it.
