Smoke on the Water

Embrace the crisp country air with a day-to-night experience of fire, flavour, and live music at Maydale Reserve, part of the 150km Feast Series. Locals and visitors are invited to rug up and enjoy a vibrant, sensory-rich event set against the scenic Wimmera River. Enjoy bold, smoky dishes and desserts from fabulous food trucks, sip on regional wines, craft gin, mulled wine and boutique beers from producers within 150km of Horsham. Support local wine makers—many affected by summer fires—by buying by the glass, bottle or box. Enjoy it fireside or take it home to share. As the sun sets, watch the bonfire come to life, marking the shift as day turns to night. Don't miss the dramatic asado-style whole pig, slow-cooked over open flames—a true feast for the senses. Families will enjoy treasure hunts, sandpit play, and marshmallow toasting by the camp fires. Live music will flow across indoor, outdoor, and fireside stages, creating a welcoming soundtrack from sunshine to starlight. Enter via 22 McBryde Street and head toward the Shearing Shed door at the rear of Maydale Pavilion—just follow the fires, the rhythm of the music, and the mouth-watering smells in the air.
