A fantastic way to kick off the strawberry picking season, this four-hour, family-friendly event promises fun, entertainment, and, of course, plenty of strawberries to pick!

Local rising stars Mitch Salan and Maggie Lawrence will set the scene with their unique voices before our headline act, acclaimed Australian artist Mick Harrington—runner-up on The Voice 2021—takes the stage as part of his Australian Songbook Tour. With a repertoire celebrating the works of Paul Kelly, Crowded House, Goanna, John Williamson, Men at Work, and more, this performance will deliver a culturally rich and distinctly Australian experience in an iconic rural setting. This is Mick’s only live performance in Wagga Wagga, so it’s definitely not to be missed!

For the first time, attendees are welcome to bring homemade picnic dinners in reusable containers, or you can purchase food, drinks, and desserts from our farm café and licensed bar. Enjoy sausage sandwiches, steak sandwiches, and hamburgers straight from the BBQ, and refill your reusable drink bottles at the Tap2Go water station.

Imagine picking sun-ripened strawberries while listening to live music, creating moments that connect food, land, and community—it’s the perfect way to spend an afternoon.
