Steph Strings to Headline Tarwin Lower Festival in November

The heart of South Gippsland is set to come alive this November as the annual Tarwin Lower Festival returns for its sixth spectacular year.

Taking over the Tarwin Lower Recreation Reserve on Sunday November 1, this community-run festival promises an unforgettable family fun day packed with world-class live music, classic wheels, and vibrant country festival charm.

Leading the charge on the festival's main stage is internationally acclaimed, part time San Remo resident, singer-songwriter and guitar virtuoso Steph Strings.

Known for her explosive fingerstyle guitar technique and captivating storytelling, Steph Strings will headline a stellar live music lineup that spans across two dedicated stages.

Joining her on the main stage are local favourites Nick Carver, Smiley Doherty, Ally Row and Misty Harlowe.

All up a total of 16 acts will be performing at the festival including ARIA chart topping No Promises and Of The Deep End.

Local radio station South Coast FM will be conducting an outside broadcast directly from the festival for those who can't make it in person.

What began as a local car show has evolved into a massive regional attraction managed entirely by local volunteers from the community including the Venus Bay Angling Club, Tarwin Lower and District Bowls Club, Tarwin Football Netball Club, Tarwin District Auto and Machinery Club and Tarwin Lower District Men's Shed.

Beyond the music, attendees can immerse themselves in an extensive array of attractions:

• Automotive and Machinery Displays: An incredible exhibition of classic cars, vintage bikes, trucks, and live tractor and machinery demonstrations.

• Free Kids Amusements: Keeping families' budget-friendly, all children's rides and amusements are entirely free.

• Market and Food Stalls: A bustling selection of local makers, crafts, and delicious regional food trucks.

• Community and Emergency Services: Interactive displays and live demonstrations from regional emergency service units.

"This is a not-for-profit festival run for the community, by the community," the Tarwin Lower Festival Committee President, Mike Davey shared.

"We have really stepped up the live music component of the festival with professional staging and sound production and we are incredibly proud to bring an artist of Steph Strings calibre to our main stage this year, alongside all the incredible classic car displays, markets, and free kids' entertainment that make this event a true highlight on the South Gippsland calendar."

Gates open at 10am, with official festival activities running from 10am to 4pm.
Tickets are priced accessibly with tickets available online for $10 for adults ($12 at the gate) and $4 for teens aged 12-17 ($5 at the gate) via the official ticketing platform. Children under 12 enjoy completely free entry.

"We're expecting a larger crowd this year, so we recommend purchasing tickets online a bit earlier to save time at the gate and that way you save a few bucks too, rather than paying at the door.

"This also ensures you don't miss out in case we reach capacity," Mike Davey said.
