The Wild Feast

Saturday 26 August

4PM-8PM

Festival Brazier, Apollo Bay Foreshore

Rug up and gather ‘round the fire to mark the close of a deep, dark winter in the Otways. 

There’ll be pans of paella laden with famous local seafood and vegetables, low-and-slow smoked meats, fresh pasta, fluffy bao, soups and more. Warm your hands with a mulled wine or hot toddy, and choose from a range of local craft beers from Otway brewers Prickly Moses and cocktails from the Apollo Bay Gin Distillery.

Leslie D. King and the Trembling Shakes will bring some soul-soaked rock’n’roll, joined by some very special guests. Stay after sunset to witness the festival’s signature outdoor performance, The DogWatch.

WinterWild is a community-led festival that only exists due to the support of volunteers and donors. While the Wild Feast is free to attend, we’d appreciate your RSVP – with or without donation – so that we can estimate numbers for catering.
