A Mornington Peninsula summer favourite, the annual festival attracts 35,000 people over two days and features live music, free activities, market stalls, food, wine, and much more.
The Rolling Stones Tribute Band will lead the charge, while Tiana V, Sol Nation, The Peninsula Folk Club, The Medley Boys and more are set to perform. Aside from the music, attendees can also try out stand up paddle boarding, canoeing, sailing, out-rigging and snorkelling. The weekend will also play host to the Stand Up Paddle Festival 2015, with races on both days.
The Beer and Wine Garden will be home to the weekend’s live music, while Mornington Brewery, T’Gallant Winemakers and Cheeky Rascal Cider will be on hand to make sure festivalgoers don’t go thirsty. And for those in need of fuel, the festival food court will feature a range of gourmet food from across the region including dumplings, burritos, meatballs, pizzas and Danish pastries.
Down by the bay, the Waterfront Festival will offer opportunities to learn new skills like swing dance, bowling, chess, yoga and gardening. Those who love to shop can head over the market stalls, which will feature locally and hand-made jewellry, stationary, ladies and children’s fashion and accessories, glass art paintings, local treats and fresh produce.
And finally, there will be a variety of amusements and rides for all ages plus motor bike rides and chances to meet the St Kilda footballers.
