Music fans of all ages will have the chance to enjoy a day of tunes, coffee and food beside the Barwon River this weekend.
Intuitive Day Out, held at Sweet Adeline Cafe in Newtown, will be a family-friendly celebration of music, permaculture and fresh produce, organic coffee, nature and community, with all funds raised going to Barwon Health.
Musical entertainment will include Afrodelik artist Immy Owusus and singer-songwriter Annie-Rose Maloney, while Michaela McHugh will conduct a bushwalk along the bank of the Barwon River for children and adults alike.
Event organiser Shaun McLeod, who runs his own business Intuitive Garden Design and Maintenance, said the event was inspired by the sense of community inspired by iconic Geelong venues such as the National Hotel in bygone days.
He said the event, which runs from 2pm to 5pm on Sunday, March 24, was all about bringing the people together to “hang out and feel surrounded by friends”.
“It’s really about community, bringing all the like-minded people that are interested in food, hot drink, music and culture to hang out,” he said.
“It’s about supporting other local doers. Both the musos are originally from Geelong. There are going to be door prizes with veggie boxes from Organic Larder, Birdland Produce, (and) Valerie’s Pantry in Belmont.
“Also, it’s cool to be able to bring your kids to things, and there are a lot of people transitioning away from alcohol who still want to see music. So to have an outside alcohol-free gig amongst the trees and by the river, it’s wholesome.”
