Embrace the King’s Birthday Long Weekend in South Gippsland with a spread of festivals, events and activities for the whole family to enjoy. The green rolling hills will thrum with activity over the long weekend with two major festivals happening over the weekend.
On the evening of Saturday 7 June, head over to Coal Creek in Korumburra and celebrate winter at the Southern Lights Festival. From 3.00pm to 9.30pm, immerse yourself in the magic of the season as the park glows with a spectacular display of lasers, light shows and fireworks displays. The event provides visitors and locals an opportunity to come together to eat, drink and dance. The festival’s much-loved bonfire will be big enough to warm the crowd in even the frostiest South Gippsland weather. Local live music acts and DJs will soundtrack the night with danceable tunes across two stages.
Kids and families are sure to be entertained as fire twirlers, roving entertainers, puppeteers and magicians intermingle between guests, creating memorable moments throughout the night. See Coal Creek in a surreally beautiful new light as the park shines (puns intended) under light installations and the glow of fiery braziers. Laser-cut light-drum sculptures cast patterns over the heritage buildings while the rugged, verdant natural landscape of Coal Creek sparkles under golden festoon lights. Don’t miss this feast for the senses, a perfect introduction to winter in South Gippsland.
On Sunday 8 June, the Loch Food and Wine Festival will bring the region’s produce and artisanal goods together in a charming setting, making it perfect for a day out in the fresh air. Sample the best offerings from local brewers, distilleries and wineries offering up tastings throughout the event. Follow up with a treat from one of the many food trucks representing cuisines from across the globe.
Enjoy all that South Gippsland has to offer …
In addition to the Loch Food and Wine and Southern Lights Festival, the long weekend will have our region buzzing with activities including markets, live music and shows.
