The Saltwater has a beautiful rhythmic flow and music is the modulation of such flow. Come and join us as we experience the flow that music creates and be moved as the artists share their souls on the foreshore. There will be a variety of styles and genres to suit all tastes and ages during Saturday and Sunday. The feature act will get the party going on Saturday evening as athletes and music lovers mingle alike. There will be no admission fee for the event at Salt, so bring the whole family and grab some friends too (or if none of your mates can make it, make some new ones at the event!)
If you are an aspiring or established artist and would like the opportunity to share your music and think it may bring people together, please contact Davina on 04222 66 747 or email davina@thesaltwaterfestival.com
