The River of Art Festival is back, marking its 20th year of celebrating creativity, community, and the stunning South Coast of New South Wales. From 27 September to 7 October.
A highlight of this year’s event is Mogo Festival Day, taking place on Sunday 6 October from 10am to 4pm, throughout the village of Mogo. The park opposite Clocktower Arcade will be alive all day with hands-on activities and giveaways for young and old presented by Artists for the Earth Eurobodalla.
Mogo Rural Fire Service will be holding a sausage sizzle, there will be live music and, weather permitting, kids can learn about fire safety and try out the “smoke house”.
The fantastic twenty-piece brass band, Total Fire Band, will liven the spirits and turn Mogo into downtown New Orleans. Follow their march from the RFS stand to the Mogo Ice Creamery and Diner.
The Fires to Flourish building will host Ron “Callo” Callaghan. Callo is a south coast institution and has been playing his unique blend of blues, rock and country in the region for over 30 years.
Enjoy acoustic indie-rock duo Violet Young and Elisie at Grumpy and Sweethearts Cafe, and wander the village for more live music or take a leisurely seat on one of the hay bales.
The Gallery Mogo will be hosting a free kids’ art exhibition and activities and demonstrations of wood turning skills.
Mogo retailers have come on board to support Mogo Festival Day at River of Art with discounts and specials deals on the day including the Mogo Nursery, Mogo Bowerbird Garage, Willow Earth, Romans Leather Goods, Old Dairy, Mogo Village Framers, Hidden Treasures, Mogo Pottery and Paintings, Archie Jade and Mogo Collective.
The River of Art website lists a comprehensive program of events running up and down the coast from 27 September right through to 7 October, and you can even plan your itinerary online, so you don't miss a thing.
