The White Swan Gin Garden Bar

Every Friday and Saturday (during the Festival of Christmas) 3pm – 8pm

 Our ever-so popular gin bar will be returning this July to The White Swan every Friday and Saturday from 3pm - 8pm.

 Set in the Swan's amazing garden bar, it's the perfect spot to don your Christmas jersey and woolly hat, while sipping on a Greytown Distillery Fire & Ice cocktail or Lighthouse Mulled Gin Cocktail 

 Food truck fare will be on offer with Jawl's infamous Thai, or some delectable delights from Roy's Dumpling truck. There will also be hot chocolates and marshmallows to roast over the open fire (PLUS live music playing every Saturday from 4-7pm).

 Wear a Christmas jersey and be in to win spot prizes!

DJ Takas on the Swan Stage

27 June 4pm -8pm 

Get ready to dance your heart out at the most electrifying, family-friendly street party of the year!  

Join us as we shut down Main Street to traffic and transform it into the ultimate dance floor.  

DJ Takas, a maestro of music with a lifetime of inspiration, will kick off the festivities with a journey that spans generations and genres. From the soulful sounds of Muddy Waters to the iconic riffs of Jimi Hendrix, and the purple reign of Prince and beyond. With a penchant for blending beloved classics with the freshest beats of today, he promises an unforgettable experience for all ages.

 The Swan Festival Stage, positioned in front of The White Swan, will be the epicentre of the action. Best viewing and dance stage will be The White Swan deck!
