Reminiscence and another win!

The South Coast really turned it on for the 2021 Four Winds Festival
If you were here over Easter you will know that the weather was spectacular, the ocean inviting, and Bermagui and surrounds thronged with festival artists and audience. The festival itself was a three day explosion of culture.

We celebrate ourselves, our place, our songs…
The songwriters and musicians of the South Coast write songs of place, of family, friends and farms. Of community, of tragedy, of history. They take these songs to the world, on stages near and far off-shore, but always return to their home, here on Yuin Country.
