Catering
Food and drink stalls will be operating all weekend. Most stalls are located amongst the trees on the south side of the chapel. We aim to invite providers of healthy food choices. Foods available include:

- nachos and crepes
- 'burgers, fish and chicken
- vegetarian foods
- potatoes with extras
- icecreams, popcorn, smoothies
- hot and cold drinks and juices
The Fairbridge Dining Room will be open each day for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Bar
There are two licensed venues: the Tavern by the Marquee and the Wine Bar behind Fairbridge House.
The Marquee (near the Chapel)
and the Riverside
Stage (in the paddock behind the Clubhouse) are
the two biggest concert stages and host our major concerts from Friday
night through to Sunday night.
The Clubhouse this year hosts initmate concerts and special presentations. Please no food or drink in this venue - we have to be very kind to this historic hall. The west wing of the Clubhouse is our Club West venue catering mainly to kids and families, and the Kid's Tent is right beside that with a full program of concerts and shows.
The Chapel provides fabulous acoustics for singers and hosts concerts featuring mainly vocal music.
The Retreat is this year's festival name for the building shown on Village maps as the Community Education Centre. This will be the home of the festival workshop program.
The Dining Room will host cabaret-style performances and concerts, with a leaning towards the Blues and comedy.
Our Dance Stage hosts dance performances and workshops by day, and a multicultural mosh-pit by night!
Youthopia is our dedicated youth-oriented venue, located in the Mayday Arena behind the Tavern.
The Wine Bar is our cabaret-style venue, located on the lawn behind Fairbridge House.
The Veranda is a new venue in 2006, and hosts unamplified concerts of acoustic music in its natural habitat.
Kingsley Park is south of the Retreat amongst the cottages. This area also has extra BBQ's which are available for use by campers.
The BBQ area for programmed events is in front of the Clubhouse next to the swimming pool.
The Village Amphitheatre hosts percussion workshops and the parade rehearsal.
The Chai Tent is an independently operated venue serving chai tea and hosting unamplified blackboard concerts all weekend. Sign up for impromptu performances.

lock-up and artists' central
This facility for festival artists is located behind the festival
shop beside the Marquee. It is not open to the public.
safety
- fires
Sorry, absolutely no campfires or any other kinds of open fire,
anywhere. It's too risky with closely spaced camping, and the near-certainty
of dry conditions. There are free gas fired BBQs in Kingsley Park as
well as the BBQ area.
shop
The festival shop adjoins the Marquee. This is the place to buy
your festival T-shirts, other souvenirs, raffle tickets, CDs of performers,
and our own compilation CD.
parade
Every year we hold a huge samba parade on the Sunday afternoon - everything stops for it. Come and be part of it!
