The Big Chill Festival
The Big Chill Festival
5 Dumaresq Street, Armidale, New South Wales 2350
Go with the flow, the tune and the beat – that's all they ask when you arrive at The Big Chill. A rural wonderland awaits – stars soaring high, dust dancing low and wayward gum leaves waltzing in between. You'll work up a thirst and an appetite. Fortunately, there are homegrown goods galore. Think food trucks, fire pits, drinks a-plenty, and BBQ Alley. On the edges, there are fun zones for the little chillers, a chilli-eating comp for the bigger chillers, and dam dips at dawn for those brave, hardy souls. It's the party you don't want to miss, a weekend waiting to welcome those who love the bracing air, an unmatched vibe, and the sound of live music. So what are you waiting for? Bring the folks, bring the kids, bring the yin to your yang, bring a hearty appetite for good times, good grub, good dance moves and your adventure-seeking soul that's waiting to soar. Proudly supported by the NSW Government.
