The Kyabram RV Country Music festival is returning to the Kyabram Showgrounds from Monday, November 3, to Sunday, November 9, and the organisers are ready for a right hoedown.
Organiser Allan Weeks said fun was expected throughout the entire week, describing the event simply with the words “bigger and better”.
“It’ll bring about $100,000 into the town as it usually does,” Mr Weeks said.
“It’s going to be a big year.”
Throughout the week, Allan St will transform into a bustling parade of RVs and caravans as visitors from all corners of the country converge to set up their temporary homes, eagerly awaiting the weekend’s star-studded line-up.
While the showgrounds are open from Monday, with walk-ups available from noon to 6pm from Monday to Friday, the main event will take place across the weekend.
On the night of Friday, November 7, the Wyuna Bush Dance group will be down at the showgrounds hosting a social event, with all invited to take a whirl around the grassy dance floor under the stars.
It is a gold coin donation for entry for Friday night, beginning at 7.30pm.
Saturday will see country music artists from around Australia converge on Kyabram for the Country Music Spectacular.
The line-up includes:
- Brian Letton
- Sandie Dodd
- Rodney Vincent
- Vanessa Sanger
- Lance Birrell
- Owen Blundell
- Bidge Boyd
- The Millwards
- Evan Plaschinda
- Drew Blundell
And on Sunday, wrapping up the week’s festivities with dancing and music will be the all day Country Music Marathon.
Mr Weeks expressed heartfelt gratitude to the local businesses sponsoring the event and warmly invited everyone to join the community at the showgrounds for a week of unforgettable music and memories.
