Festival coordinator Kylie Ind said the idea behind Tapped Festival was to create an inclusive event celebrating the region’s vibrant food, drink, and music culture.

“Tapped is all about what brings people together,” Ind said. “Whether it’s tapping your feet to live music, enjoying a fresh beer straight from the tap, or simply spending time with friends and family - this festival is designed to celebrate those moments.”

The event has been designed with a strong community focus, offering a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere during the day, before building into a high-energy evening of live music.

“We wanted to create something that appeals to everyone - from beer lovers to families looking for a great day out,” Ina said. “There’ll be something for all ages, including games, entertainment and activities alongside the food and music.”

Tapped Festival is expected to attract visitors from across the Limestone Coast and beyond, providing a boost to local producers, businesses and tourism.

Tapped Festival takes place at Woolstore Brewery in Mount Gambier on Saturday 11 April. Tickets on sale now at simpletix.com.
