The East Gippsland Winter Festival still has one more weekend of wintery fun to take advantage of.
The closing weekend sees Orbost, Marlo and Paynesville putting on street parties, parades, music festivals, winter feasts, trestle bridge soirées, cold plunges and magical mayhem.
Highlight events to round out this year’s festival include:
– Snowy Steampunk Soiree, Friday, July 18, Orbost: Kick the weekend off Friday night by getting your steampunk on with the Snowy Steampunk Soiree twilight drinks and tunes under the historic Snowy Rail Bridge which will be decked out in vintage-industrial wonder.
It’s set to be an epic event with all proceeds going to the continued restoration of the iconic bridge.
– TL;DR – Live at the Muddie, Saturday, July 19, the Mudbrick Pavilion Mallacoota: TL;DR is a new quarter brought together by trumpeter/composer Peter Knight.
