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!

Enjoy sausage sandwiches, steak sandwiches, and hamburgers straight from the BBQ, and refill your reusable drink bottles at the Tap2Go water station.
