Fairgrounds Festival

A carnival of music and discovery, a little south of Sydney in the gorgeous town of Berry. It is just a hop skip and a jump from Kangaroo Valley, which makes it an ideal location for us to recommend accommodation so you can have the ideal combination of festival and relaxation.

The festival has a great diverse crowd, which now caters to families and kids with activities and child-minding. This year there is an exciting line-up including, Liam Gallagher and Kasey Chambers. In addition to the amazing lineup of music, they have the following:
