Bust out the beanies, pull on the woollies and escape to cool country this August as Winter Sounds returns to the historic churches, schoolhouses and country halls of Daylesford and the surrounding villages.

Brought to the region from the producers of the award-winning Riverboats Music Festival and now in its fourth season, Winter Sounds transforms the heart of regional Victoria into a music trail, where audiences move between glowing stages and open fires, taking in the crisp country air whilst experiencing celebrated artists in unique spaces.
