Live Music Park Pop Ups: Riddells Creek
Pack a picnic with local produce from our wonderful providores, farmers markets and bakeries. Pick up a pie from along the Autumn Pie & Tart Trail. Or get takeaway from a local cafe or restaurant. Our Autumn Festival series of free live music park pop ups will get you under the autumn leaves, where you’ll be entertained by fantastic local musicians.
Our Riddells Creek event is a brilliant day out for the family, with the Funkateers 9-piece New Orleans-style street band performing on stage in the Riddells Creek Lions Park from 1pm. The local farmers market will be on that morning, where you can stock up on goodies for your concert picnic.
About the Funkateers
A 9-piece Street Band will bring the party including a bouncing 3-piece Drum Section, booming Bass and five fabulous Horns. Not only do the Funkateers put the FUN in their show — but they present an opportunity for audiences of all ages to see instruments and hear music that they otherwise might not have been exposed to. From Horn-led Funk to Salsa, Calypso, Reggae and some Australian favourites there’s something for everyone!
