Each ‘party pod’ throughout the venue will bring a different vibe, whether that’s the Neon Disco, Honky-Tonk Hideout or Riff City – feel free to dress to the theme and go all out!

PICNIC is inspired by pub-hopping, encouraging revelers to explore the massive space and change up the mood without leaving the venue.

Running across three sessions – Friday night, Saturday arvo and Saturday night– festivalgoers can expect the unexpected.

PICNIC Festival will be held on Friday 28 and Saturday 29 November. For more, head to picnicfestival.com.au
