After celebrating decades of music and community, the festival continues its tradition under Wentworth family involvement, offering multiple stages, camping, and a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere. The 2025 edition runs from August 29–31 with three stages—Roots, Rhythm, and Dance—on the grounds for a weekend of live performances, workshops, and community fun.
