After being cancelled in 2020 and 2021, the festival is back with a show bursting with talent over three days on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, October 21, 22 and 23.
Originally the Echuca Country Music Festival, it has been held in Lockington since 2017 and features a variety of entertainment, from country to rock’n’roll and rockabilly.
“We try and vary every day, we try and make every day a little bit different,” organiser Roz Giles said.
“We have the dance party on Friday, so if you want to dance then that’s the chance because that’s when you have the biggest dance floor.
“On Sunday we start with a gospel hour from 10.30 to 11.30 and then continue on with a variety of music after that.”

Roz’s production company, Big River Entertainment, promotes the all-indoor festival as an awareness of rural towns project.
“It’s all about bringing awareness to country towns and injecting as many funds into the town as possible,” she said.
The event is held at the Lockington Community Centre, a little over 30km south-west of Echuca.
The line-up includes: Craig Giles, Kinta, Wayne Horsburgh, Grant Luhrs, Kerran Keats, Jamie Nielson, Rupe Adams, Ray Macartney, The Night Owls, Colin Ovens, Mick Hocking, Graham Baird, James Moore, Glenys Mills and more.
