πŸŽ‰ South Coast NSW Festival 2024 – Dates, Tickets & Insider Tips!

πŸ”₯ G’day mate! Mark your calendars – the South Coast NSW Festival is coming and it’s gonna be an absolute ripper this year! I’ve got all the latest updates and changes you need to know before you pack your swag.

πŸ“… Event Details

The South Coast NSW Festival is back bigger than ever! Running from March 15-17, 2024, this three-day outdoor extravaganza celebrates everything we love about our stunning coastline. You’ll find camping zones, live music, local food stalls, and adventure activities spread across multiple venues from Batemans Bay to Jervis Bay. Gates open at 8 AM daily, with the main festivities kicking off at 10 AM.

πŸ†• What’s New for 2024

Bloody oath, they’ve added some awesome stuff this year! The festival now includes a dedicated adventure zone with guided kayaking tours through the Clyde River, plus a new sunset photography workshop at Pebbly Beach. They’ve also expanded the camping area by 40% and introduced eco-friendly glamping options. Best part? Free shuttle buses now run between all major festival sites – no more driving between events!

πŸ”„ Key Changes to Know

Heads up, mates – there are a few important changes this year! The main stage has moved to a new location at Ulladulla Harbour to handle bigger crowds. Ticket prices have increased slightly (general entry is now $85 for the weekend), but they’ve introduced a family pass that’s actually heaps good value. Also, they’re now cashless at all food stalls, so make sure your cards are ready. Parking is no longer included with tickets – it’s $10 per day at designated lots.

πŸ’‘ How to Make the Most of It

Right, here’s my game plan from last year that worked perfectly. Book your camping spot ASAP – they sell out weeks before! I’d recommend arriving Thursday arvo to snag a good spot near the amenities. Don’t miss the sunrise yoga sessions on the beach (free with your ticket!), and definitely hit up the local brewers’ tasting on Saturday afternoon. Pro tip: download the official festival app – it’s got real-time updates and a map that’ll save you from getting lost in the crowds!

πŸ’‘ Tips & Warnings

βœ… Book camping early – spots sell out by February!
βœ… Bring reusable water bottles – free refill stations available
❌ Don’t forget your sunnies and hat – March sun is no joke!
⚠️ ⚠️ Mobile reception can be spotty in some camping areas – download offline maps!
