Additionally, Gurneys Cider, Loch Distillery, and Sailors Grave Brewing will be serving their distinctive drinks, complemented by dairy delights from Gippsland Jersey, Prom Country Cheese, and Loch Cheese Merchant.
The Play session, running from 6pm to 10pm, will feature live music performances by local artists including Misty Harlowe, Janie Gordon, and Jungle Jim Smith, culminating in a high-energy set by the Melbourne Ska Orchestra.
