Thursday

Bar SAM Opening: A Bar with a View

Time: 5pm – 8pm

Where: Level 4, Shepparton Art Museum (SAM), 530 Wyndham St, Shepparton

Entry: Free (no cover charge)

Bring on the extra-long weekend at the grand opening of Bar SAM – your new go-to spot for date night, drinks with friends, or a relaxing end-of-week catch-up.

In collaboration with the Elsewhere at SAM crew, enjoy an ambient bar experience complete with drinks and snacks in an architectural space boasting the best view in town.

Due to the overwhelming turnout at our first opening, a secondary bar has been added on the terrace to keep things flowing smoothly.

Note: Access to Bar SAM is only via the elevator from the building’s ground floor.
