From Jungle Jim Smith’s performance at Echuca Wharf on Thursday afternoon to the wrap party at Radcliffe’s closing it out late on Sunday night, attendees were spoilt for musical choice.

More than 20 venues and well over 50 artists kept the energy up, with stages popping up on the streets, at Echuca library, on the PS Pevensey, and at the many local watering holes.
