Lock In Lunch At Eagles Nest

What’s better than eating a delicious lunch at Australia’s Highest Restaurant? Eating lunch at Australia’s Highest Restaurant while listening to Blues of course!

Book Dinner At Cascades

While everyone’s favourite artists are expected to be bringing the soulful vibes across the entire village, a Blue Dinner At Cascades is a totally unique and memorable way to level up your Blues Festival Experience!

Catch The Courtesy Bus 

Yet another way to save your energy for dancing – the Thredbo Courtesy bus! The big red bus will be running from Friday Flat to Valley Terminal from 8:30am to 5pm on Saturday and Sunday granting you easy access to the festival from your accommodation and parking. 

Bring A Picnic Rug

While there are plenty of awesome venues on offer to enjoy the tunes across the mountain, you really can’t go past the magic of listening to distant blues music bouncing around the valley while you put your feet up on the banks of the Thredbo River. Grab yourself some tasty treats and inject a little zen to your Blues Festival weekend with a picnic on the river – you won’t regret it!
