RockFish will commence at the Euroa Arboretum on Saturday, April 19 and run from 1pm to 5pm.
Co-designed by the Strathbogie Rocks FReeZA Youth Crew, RockFish is a vape-, tobacco-, drug- and alcohol-free event that provides a safe and fun space for young people to connect, celebrate and enjoy great entertainment.
The event will showcase electric bands including The Viceroys, Ungraded and Punk Band from 1pm to 3pm, followed by acoustic acts Lillian Kilroy, Jeremiah, Grace and Danny and more from 3pm to 5pm.
Meanwhile, a fishing competition will run from 3pm to 5pm, offering prizes for the best catches of the day.
RockFish will celebrate young people’s music and culture while also bringing the community together to connect, engage and enjoy the day out.
Attendees can enjoy various food vans, giveaways and community activities throughout the event.
Funded by Freeza and The Community Recovery Hub, which is jointly funded by the Australian and Victorian Governments through the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements, RockFish is part of a broader initiative to support youth-led events that build community connections and resilience.
“RockFish is all about giving young people a space to enjoy live music, the outdoors, and each other’s company in a positive and welcoming environment,” Mayor Claire Ewart-Kennedy said.
“This event has been shaped by young people for young people, and we’re excited to see it come to life.”
The event is free to attend, and all young people, families and community members are encouraged to join in.
