To finish off the East Gippsland Waterfront program in style, we have a closing celebration lined up in partnership with Gippslandia quarterly newspaper and Sailor’s Grave Brewing.

Taking place in a former iceworks factory replete with old cool rooms and industrial details, the evening will feature the launch of the latest print issue of Gippslandia and will include food by local food producers and drink by local and sustainable brewers, Sailors Grave. While you’re at Iceworks, check out the exhibition by Monash Architecture students titled Rethinking Regional Recovery (speculative design solutions for East Gippsland communities hit hard by the 2020 bushfires).

We’ll wrap up the evening with live music from Biscotti, who blends synth, pop, disco, hip hop and more to create her own genre-defying, wonderfully weird but easily accessible sound.
