Music Festival March 17th 2012

17/03/2012

 

The Nukara Music Festival is held on Nukara Farm amongst the scenic and rich farmlands and flat top hills of the Chapman Valley 30 kilometres north east of Geraldton near Nanson, from 5pm - 1am (gates open 4pm).

A dedicated natural amphitheatre setting surrounded by towering River Red Gums and a Spring fed Creek that flows under the stage are just a couple of this unique venue's charms.

Add to this nearly 8hrs of various live original Roots music and 600 attendees on a balmy night along with overnight camping, homemade tasty food BYO drinks, it's no wonder this is the most popular outdoor venue in the Mid West with the last couple of festivals selling out over a week beforehand
