ART 
Friday night opens the festival and the Up a river...ART exhibition and everyone (over 15 years of age) is invited to join us to celebrate from 6pm. The emphasis on Friday night is ART and party. Exhibiting artists of the valley and beyond are generously donating a specially commissioned Kangaroo Valley inspired work to be hung, exhibited and sold by silent auction over the festival weekend. More than twenty visual artists have agreed to participate making this a very special exhibition. Imagine almost every artist from the area under one roof! But thats not all! Anyone coming to Friday nights event can bring a piece of home-made art to donate to the cause and get 50% off the cover charge. Your art can be anything from sculpture to painting to photography to fantastical decorated cakes or jewellery as long as you made it yourself. These community artworks will then be for sale and ten of the best will be chosen to go to live auction on the night! The cover entry includes sangria, tapas and musical entertainment including wandering guitar minstrel Simon Marks and a special performance by our very own Thirsty Night Singers. Add to that some great party playlists, a dance floor, drinks and food for sale Dress boho arty, bring your art and get ready to party!

Markets 
Saturday morning will find the Upper River Hall bathed in sunlight (hopefully) and surrounded by stalls of local produce. Come along between 9am and 1pm to buy your weekend seasonal food supplies, have a real coffee from our coffee cart, some cake, a bit of brunchlisten to local classical guitarist Kjell Goyer, and hear poetry or recite some of your own in the poetry jam, curated by Allan Stone. If you have any produce, plants, flowers, jams, jellies, pickles, cakes, crafts (maybe excess from your KV show entries) that you would like to donate to the hall, we will have baskets and stalls to sell them from. Drop stuff off on the day or day before or contact us to discuss having your own stall.
Dinner 
Saturday night is the very "jooshie" 100 mile festival dinner. Tickets are limited and pricey but worth every cent. From the moment you arrive you will be looked afterwith drinks and canapés, followed by a dinner by local chef Katrina Endean (Caterina) of local, seasonal delights served at your table, wine by local Yarrawa Estate and a delicious dessert to follow. Everything is included in the ticket price, including the sensational songstress, the little bit naughty and a whole lot talented Christa Hughes to entertain you. Some cool jazzy tunes, an intimate dance floor and the chance to bid on some local art and great prizes at our silent auction will fill the rest of the evening. Silent auction prizes include a limited edition digital print of Reg Mombassas painting of the Upper River Hall and an architectural consultation by award winning architect Edward Szewczyk. Dress to impress and let us do the rest!
Fun Day 
Sunday is fun day an event for all the family. Bring a picnic rug and relax around the hall grounds as the children (and the big kids) are entertained with roving circus performers, puppets, piñatas, games and competitions. Food and drinks will be available for sale from our Mexican Street Food stall or BBQ and some gold coins will be needed to play the games, but entry is free! The silent auction will finish at 2.30pm on Sunday afternoon and the festival will finally wrap up at 3pm.
