The fun kicks off on Saturday, 12 October at 5pm. Start your evening by savouring delicious dishes from food vans from around the Riverina at Brewery Flat. Then, burn off those calories with a sunset bushwalk led by expert guides. Explore native wildlife, marvel at reptiles, and soak in fascinating Indigenous stories. The night wraps up around the fire pit, where you can enjoy enchanting tales, lively music, and, of course, more delicious food from the stalls.

On Sunday, 13 October, the festival continues in full swing starting at 11am. Get ready for a jam-packed day of fun with engaging children's activities, guided tours of koala habitats, and enlightening stalls from local and regional wildlife and environmental groups. There's live entertainment, captivating storytelling, interactive workshops, and a thrilling native reptile experience featuring a reptile show and up-close encounters.
