Darker Days

Featuring a special focus on dark beer and world-class live music, this year's event will be headlined by The Pierce Brothers, Australia’s hottest indie-folk duo.

This midwinter festival is guaranteed to warm you up from the inside out with a ceremonial bonfire, crackling firepits, Stubborn Imperial Stout vertical tastings, beautiful food, local produce and, of course, beers by our High Country brewers and wine, cider, and cocktails with a unique local flavour.

Festival-goers are encouraged to make a weekend of it and Bright Brewery is putting on additional festivities for those who want to fully immerse themselves in the dark side including guided brewery tours, a Welcome Party the night before with live music all night and and a free Recovery Session with live music.

Early Bird prices will be available for those keen to lock in their plans early. Darker Days is a proudly family-friendly event and children are welcome to come and enjoy the festivities. Reduced prices are available for children aged 6-17, and kids under five are free.
