Awesome entertainment all day with The Furious 3, then Kokomo leading up to the iconic band Dragon who are flying in from Australia to entertain you.  If you want a break from the main stage check out the “messy area”; the pie eating competition (you are in Pai-hia), tasting and scallop shucking competitions…to name a few!  There is a kids zone where the kids will be entertained with characters such as “BJ the Magician” showing off his amazing tricks.  If all you want to do is sit back and sip on a glass of wine while enjoying a delicious seafood chowder…there is room to do that as well!

The beauty of this festival is you can take in the whole 3 days, or if you just fancy some good wine, food and to sit back and be entertained just come along on the Saturday.
