Blue Water Country Music Festival

 

Port Stephens is one of Australia’s great holiday destinations just one hour north of Newcastle and two hours north of Sydney on the NSW North Coast and is the home of the Blue Water Country Music Festival .

In 2006 the Blue Water Country was introduced into the Australian Country Music calendar on the June long weekend at Port Stephens and Nelson Bay.  Now in its 4th year, the Festival has grown from 15 venues in 2006, to over 40 venues in 2008. 

 

Headlining this years festival are Jetty Road with Markus Meier at Soldiers Point Bowling Club and The Sunny Cowgirls. This festival is a unique concept in Country Music, with the efforts of the organisers to ‘Bring the Country to the Coast’.


The FREE entertainment at the festival is amazing with cameo performances from our headline acts on Saturday June 9th in the Port Stephens FM Marquee on the stunning Nelson Bay Foreshore. This year the marquee is bigger and better than ever before with its own licensed bar area.

There are plenty of new talents performing at the festival and some favorites from previous years - enjoy Steve Passfield in the Marquee, Ryan Sampson a Toyota Starmaker finalist in 2012 performing classics like Edith Annie and Marilyn Monroe was a size 14.

Expressions of interest are open for a caravan and camping expo to be held in conjunction with the Blue Water Country Music Festival.

In some cases, the venues are on Cruise Boats which pass the day sailing amongst the dolphins in the Port Stephens waterways and the Karuah River a unique concept in Country Music, with the efforts of the organisers to ‘Bring the Country to the Coast’.


Judging by the level of interest from both performers and potential visitors, the magnificent Blue Water paradise of Port Stephens, will again provide a spectacular backdrop to many venues as well as attracting a premier line-up of established Country Music artists.

The 2012 festival is being planned now and is set to be bigger and better than ever!

Some of this year Festival's features will be:

- Artists and Bands
- Concerts
- Blue Water Busking Titles
- Bootscooting
- Bush Poets
