Ever heard of a “carpark festival”? If not, today's your lucky day. On Saturday, October 22 the folks over at Inner West brewpub Willie the Boatman are throwing a country and western-inspired music festival in their carpark and you’re all invited.
After first getting legs as a post-lockdown bonanza in 2021, the aptly named 80% Cooked event is coming back to the Inner West for another year of country tunes, quality food trucks and all-round good times that look set to please even the crankiest of cowboys.
Open to all dogs, kids and human folk, this swingin’ day out in St Peters will kick off at 11am, with the action running until 5pm on Saturday. Attendees can expect to get down to live music performances from the likes of headliner Andy Golledge (who was nominated for Best Country Album at this year’s ARIAs, no less), Caitlin Harnett & The Pony Boys and the Cruisin' Deuces.
On top of all the wild west musical options, you can also munch your way through a varied and seriously delicious food truck selection, peruse local market stalls peddling handmade jewellery and assorted treats, and to top it all off, you’ll get the chance to swig plentiful craft beers, with the day set to flow with many a ice-cold schooner made on site.
Also, your tiniest associates are all able to come along for the ride too, with everyone under 12 able to come in for free. The smallest cowboys in your life can frolic on the resident jumping castle, get their faces painted and run around in the play area. Yeehaw.
Tickets will cost you $26.50 and can be bought by clicking right here.
