Dear Boxing Day Festival Attendees

We’re thrilled to update that the Boxing Day event is still going ahead as planned. We've got you covered, literally! Our Garden stage will be under marquee cover, while the Garage stage is under cover already, which means our stages, bars, and dance floor areas are equipped with cover to keep the good times rolling, rain or shine.

Dress for the conditions, bring your dancing shoes and your best smiles, and let’s make unforgettable memories together.
