Described as a carnival of music and discovery, the two day event attracted music lovers of all ages and from all over NSW.

Although festival organisers have not confirmed a figure, ticket sales exceeded last years inaugural event at Berry Showground.

Festivities kicked off Friday evening at 5pm and continued through until late Saturday night when the crowd was treated to final three acts Sarah Blasko, The Tallest Man On Earth and Jagwar Ma.

Multi-ARIA award winner Sarah Blasko, who picked up another one last week for Best Adult Alternative Album, thrilled the audience when she hit the stage to do a final showcase of her latest album Eternal Return.

There was a a long line of gourmet food outlets to keep stomachs full and activities to keep everyone entertained, which included an on-site swimming pool, Little Fairgrounds for children, record fair, market, the Newtown Social Club stage, garden bar and pop-up outdoor restaurant.

Fairgrounds once again proved popular with city dwellers keen to explore all the South Coast has to offer.

“I came last year and I had an amazing time,” Western Sydney’s Ellen Amadio said.

“I like that there is a mix of people including families, great music and you can relax and chill in the sun.

“It’s just been an amazing time with a great atmosphere and great people.”

Various camping sites were located at the showground and in surrounding fields, with a shuttle bus provided for those staying in nearby Kangaroo Valley. Villages such as Gerringong and Gerroa also provided accommodation for visitors.  

“We’re staying in Gerringong near the water and it’s so beautiful, it’s one of my favourite places,” Miss Amadio said.

“We stayed the whole weekend, I took the day off work on Friday and we drove down. We got a flat tyre which was really annoying so we took and extra hour to get here,” she laughed.

“We made it to the festival for the night time.”

Miss Amadio said the festival had a much different feel to large city based festivals.

“It’s a hundred per cent better,” she said.

“The people are friendlier, the food is better, you feel really safe and secure and it’s a lot more calmer.

Miss Amadio joined many others who took to the lawn armed with a blanket to soak up the music in front of the main stage. 

“I’ve hung out with my friends, we brought some Vinnies rugs, had a few drinks and relaxed listening to Angel Olsen,” she said.

“It’s been a pretty top notch day.”
