From the Gigarre website- The Girgarre Moosic Muster is a family-friendly music festival based on a combination of Bluegrass, Irish, Gospel, Country, Bush and Folk music ~ a little for everybody.
It is a festival with a very strong emphasis placed on participation, whether that be as a performer, a teacher or a learner. More than 30 workshops and jams will be held around the town. These workshops are tiered to be inclusive, from the novice to the gifted musician.
Each muster features free public concerts in the park. The Friday evening concert will feature invited guests and Out-of-a-Hat Band winners. The Saturday evening concert offers a different musical experience.
Sunday morning concerts are continued at the hugely popular Farmers' Market and a gospel session. The Festival concludes with the wind-down concert on Sunday evening. Continuous jamming is encouraged throughout the event and you can even borrow an instrument for free, courtesy of our sponsors.
The muster venue site is the Winter Road Park with on-site camping and the air-conditioned Girgarre Hall. Catering is available with food and drinks. Friday night hosts the legendary Sausage Sizzle. Saturday features a two-course dinner (bookings essential, register using the link on the webpage or facebook) and Sunday incorporates the popular Girgarre Farmers Market
The now iconic Girgarre Moosic Muster attracts more than 1500 music lovers and skilled players from city and country, stamping it as a major fixture on Victoria’s acoustic festival circuit. The tutors and bands still work free of charge. For more than a decade, this unique muster has encouraged and taught thousands of beginners how to play music and provided a platform and exposure for many established and emerging musicians, songwriters and bands.
The festival has promoted the personal joys of making your own music, whether your bent is country, folk, blues, traditional Aussie bush songs, bluegrass, Celtic, pop, gospel or more contemporary styles. From the muster has sprung monthly jamming and teaching sessions coined Jigarre Jammin’, which attract up to 70 musicians every month to the township.
