Overview

Falls Creek might be best known for its alpine resort and snow-covered ski runs, but a new festival kicking off next month is out to show off a different, more summery side to the region.

Here to remind us all of Falls Creek's credentials as a summer destination, the inaugural Feastival will serve up a three-day celebration of food, music, arts, comedy from Friday, February 18–Sunday, February 20.

Top of the bill is a free music festival taking over the resort's Slalom Plaza on February 19, showcasing live sounds from legendary Aussie acts including Boy & Bear, Didirri and Saskia, as well as science chats and a few laughs with Dr Karl.

Across the rest of the weekend, catch a comedy showcase starring the likes of Dave Thornton and Zoë Coombs Marr, an opening night art exhibition, a lunchtime performance by the Melbourne Chamber Orchestra Sextet, astronomy tours and a series of farmers markets where you can sample goodies from across the region. Each morning you can limber up for the day ahead with a guided yoga session at the Village Bowl. And if you prefer your workout with a bit more adrenaline, there'll be regular shuttles operating between the area's world-class mountain bike trails.
