Perricoota Pop and Pour festival a hit

Echuca Moama Events director Jacqui Wegener expressed satisfaction with the festival's outcome.

“I am so happy with how everything went,” she said.

“To be honest, we were blessed by the weather. I think it was about 12 o'clock, the clouds cleared and the sun came out.”

The venues proved popular with attendees, with most participants visiting multiple locations.

“The venues were incredible,” Ms Wegener said.

“I think most people, a large percentage, got to three or more venues, so they all really got to experience the whole trail.”

A highlight of this year's festival was the introduction of silent discos.

“The silent disco was a hoot,” Ms Wegener said.

“It was a trial run this year, given how well it was received, we will definitely be bringing them back next year.”

The festival will return on November 28, 2026.

Ms Wegener thanked the American Hotel and Junction for their partnership, as well as Dyson Bus Company, security teams and venues for their contributions.

“What I really noticed was that there were so many repeat attendees,” she said.

“People who have been coming for six years and all the netball trips and bucks parties and all of that really added to the energy around the place.”
