The Best of the Mid-Coast Descends On Wingham
The town of Wingham on the NSW Mid Coast will once again welcome visitors from across the state and, indeed, Australia, from Friday 14 to Sunday 16 October with the welcome return of the Wingham Music Festival and a stellar line-up worthy of any grand music festival in Australia.
Confirmed artists include The Black Sorrows, Darryl Braithwaite and The Waifs, headlining Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, respectively. Other artists include Bill Chambers, The Wolfe Brothers, Dom Turner, Imogen Clarke, 19-Twenty, and many more.
"After a two-year break, we were determined to reshape and refresh the Festival, and this line-up truly is a dream come true for us," said Festival Coordinator Donna Ballard.
Since its inception in 2007, the Festival has grown to become a much loved annual event in the community calendar. This year the Festival will return to its place of origin at Central Park, a location that allows visitors to immerse in the town centre with cafes, boutiques and heritage-listed buildings surrounding the Festival site.
Festival attendees are invited to bring their own chairs to the expansive marquee and relax in front of the main stage to listen to more than 30 acts featuring over 100 musicians over three brilliant days of music. Alternatively, throw a rug under the bright flag sails, sip on drinks from local featured distillers, and absorb the vibe of the music and surroundings.
Alongside the plethora of live music, the Festival also features artisans showcasing handmade wares and artworks. Workshops will be held across the weekend, and visitors can enjoy the best in food and delicacies from local businesses in the Mid Coast NSW region.
"The Festival atmosphere will be brought to life with stilt walkers, circus performers, belly dancers, and you can participate in yoga, tai chi and indigenous storytelling, while children can play in the "Kids Zone," said Donna.
The 2022 Wingham Music Festival is held with thanks to the Department of Regional NSW and Regional Events Acceleration Fund, part of the $2 billion Regional Growth Fund, designed to support growing regional centres, activate local economies and improve services and community infrastructure for regional communities.
