Tongala Eats and Beats will once again play host to live music, local food stalls and plenty of kids’ activities.
The event, run by the Tongala Development Group, returns on Sunday, October 9 from 12pm to 4pm after the success of its debut last year.
It was created to help the creative arts industry recover after tough times during COVID-19, and brought in more than 500 people to the Tongala Soundshell in 2021.
Amber Townsend from the Tongala Development Group said it was a free community event and visitors would be very surprised at what the town of Tongala has to offer.
“There will be a different artist doing a set for 45 minutes every hour,” she said.
“This year in between the set changes, we will have local performers jump on stage.”
The event will open with a Welcome to Country ceremony and an Indigenous performer.
Extra food vans will be on deck as organisers are expecting more people to attend this year, as it will be a restriction-free event this time.
Amber said Tongala had so much to offer and a strong arts culture.
“Come out and have a great day and support the local businesses involved,” she said.
“We aren’t one of the major towns but we are central to all of them.
“We want to keep our local economy going and make sure our town is thriving, not just surviving.”
