The festival is hosted at Packing Shed Cafe. which has an indoor/outdoor space created by locals for locals. We intend to create an atmosphere that fosters collaboration & a sense of shared love of the music, arts and of course food.
If you like the lush, beautiful surroundings of the west, you will love the location of the festival where we play and listen to music together as a community while sharing some fantastic kai in the backyard.
We put a huge value on the arts and the conversations that surround it. Combined with food in our lives, the evening sun festival is setup to give all of us a small break within a small creative space.
