ECHO Festival : East Coast Harvest Odyssey 
3-5 April 2020

Dear guests, upon arrival to the festival site, please come by the ECHO Rego (see legend map) to be stamped and to collect your ECHO goodie bag.  Set up your tent if camping the night and acquaint yourself with the main ECHOasis site between the old Gala Mill and the beautiful Swan River. 

Welcome to Country and Storytelling 

Local wines, gin and whisky presentations

In the old Gala Mill an expert vigneron, a mistress of the still and a Great Lakes gentleman, will guide us through a showcase of fine Tasmanian wines and craft spirits.

New to ECHO 2020!

Collaborating with other festivals that showcase unique Tasmanian regions - Junction Arts Festival in the North, The Unconformity in the West and Huon Mid-Winter Festival in the South. ECHO presents a unique aspect of each in a Gathering of The Clans, building and celebrating a shared awareness of the  diversity of this amazing Island.

Grape stomping 'The Great Eastern Ferment'

Squish the juice out of the grapes with your own bare feet! Presented by Spring Vale Wines, the juice will be turned into ECHO Vino for a 2021 release at next year's festival!

Art, Experiences and Music

Come Saturday afternoon, rejuvenate at 'The Great Eastern Siesta' - Tasmania's largest afternoon nap in the yurt, with cosy blankets… whilst being read a naughty bedtime story! Interact with the art installations, dance performances, and an exotic pop-up shop to have you styled for the evening's activities...  Feasting, fireside storytelling, live music and DJ's, before taking the shuttle bus back to your Swansea lodgings or retiring to the campsite.
