Hosted on the same location on the Murray River as Strawberry Fields, which itself has been cancelled due to COVID and flooding in the past few years, the festival focuses as much on food and dining as music and is billed as a family-friendly event.
It has strict capacity of just 1000 people, with Cash Savage and the Last Drinks, C.W. Stoneking and his Primitive Horn Orchestra and Floodlights to headline the festival’s music contingent.
Meanwhile, Wild Pie — created by Little Picket chef Louise Daily, Three Blue Ducks creator Mark LaBrooy, and wild game providore Discovered Wildfoods — will be providing food, alongside a six-course wood-fired long lunch.
The festival will donate all profits from the inaugural event to the Strawberry Fields Community Grants Fund.
The fund has contributed over $100,000 in microgrants to local community organisations and not-for-profits since 2015, including the Tocumwal Girls’ Shed, Tocumwal Rural Fire Brigade, Berrigan Country Women’s Association, Tocumwal Swimming Pool, CanASSIST Finley and Barooga Public School.
Berrigan Shire residents will also have exclusive access to half-price adult tickets to Good Times, with local under 18s attending free of charge.
Locals can head to www.good-times.com.au to claim this offer.
Good Times is also proud to have partnered with social enterprise Humanitix, with all profits from ticketing operations to be donated to a range of charities that help disadvantaged children all over the world get access to education, healthcare and greater opportunity for a fair go in life.
Festival attendees will have the option of camping under the stars with a camping pass or taking up a classic Aussie motel room in Tocumwal.
Shuttles will run from Tocumwal to and from the festival for those staying off-site.
