For those families who are bringing their children with them to the “Taste Festival” day itself, there will be a children’s activity tent, clowns, face painting and activities connected with the National Year of the Farmer Travelling Roadshow.

Art enthusiasts will be able to visit the Naracoorte Art Gallery where a new competition exhibition “Ibis Rising” will be opened at 6pm tomorrow.

The Limestone Coast Farmers Market will take over the town squares on Sunday morning with a wide range of fresh and locally grown produce.

During the morning buskers will entertain the public and a display of classic and street cars and motor bikes will add colour and interest to the event.

The highlight of the festival weekend is the Taste Festival Day on Saturday. During the morning, street buskers will set the scene for the day’s activities. Festival attendees will enjoy practically non-stop music from 11am until after 6.30pm from “Calamari for Breakfast”, “Little Black Dress”, “The Mechanics”, “Tenor’s Elbow”, Nigel Fosdike with Penny Burke and Georgie Shortt.

The food on offer should tempt all palates, and the festival would not be complete without the taste of the magnificent wines made in the districts surrounding Naracoorte.

To satisfy young, old and those who prefer non-alcoholic drinks, there will be coffee, milk drinks, energy drinks, soft drinks and water.
