ABOUT THE EVENT

A Day in the Hills is a feel-good, purpose-led gathering that celebrates rural life, community connection, and wellbeing.

Held in the heart of the Dookie Hills, this event brings together farming families and rural locals for a relaxed day of live music, local food & wine, children's activities and meaningful chats. At its core, the day out is designed to support mental health and social connection in regional communities by creating a welcoming space and access to practical resources while enjoying time with family and friends.

Pull up a chair and stay awhile.
