The licensed bar was the spot to be at the South Burnett Regional Council’s Day At The Dam music festival last Saturday.
Bjelke-Petersen Dam provided the perfect backdrop for the day, which featured a string of local bands before the feature acts took to the stage.
The music kicked off about 2:00pm, with entertainment by Rockin’ Our Abilities, Sparrow, Soul Good and Ryza.
Then country singers Will Day, Casey Barnes and Taylor Moss took over before the headline act, The Wolfe Brothers, grabbed the spotlight.
A Council spokesperson said 750 people came through the gate to enjoy the concert.
In the early afternoon, most were gathered in the licensed area, enjoying cool drinks on a very hot day.
The “Day at the Dam Music Festival and Community Event” was funded under the Federal and State Government’s “Queensland Floods Flexible Funding Grants” funding scheme.
“The event’s energetic host, CROW-FM’s Chantal Harth, and the valuable support of the Bjelke-Petersen Dam Caravan and Recreation Park managers Heath and Rowena Sander, SBRC staff, and dedicated volunteers contributed to a successful event,” the spokesperson said.
“Moreover, it provided a wonderful opportunity for locals to connect with essential community agencies such as RACQ, Drought Angels, Lives Lived Well, Head to Health, Your Town, and the Local Disaster Management Team.”
A shuttle bus provided transport to the venue.
Pity the bar area was not closer to the stage to make the atmosphere better. It was a tad boring in front of the stage, being so far away from the fun crowd.
