Live music lovers rejoice as the Summer Sundays free concert series returns to the Ballarat Botanical Gardens.

Sunday Week One:

Allysha Joy is a deeply-expressive singer, songwriter, producer & keys player hailing from Naarm (Melbourne), known for both her solo work and as front woman for 30/70. Her husky soulful voice and formidable Fender Rhodes prowess has captivated fans the world over.

Dayfever, a Ballarat-born powerful five-piece fuses heavy guitar grooves with Connor's nuanced songwriting, exploring themes of love, loss, and introspection.

Nasal Spray, the brainchild of James Ramsa and band of friends playing rock n roll. With Sam Beulke on drums, Tim Okeefe on bass and James on guitar.

Owelu Dreamhouse fuses psychedelic-soul with West African rhythms and vibrant sound inspired by Fela Kuti, Sault, and Little Simz. .

In addition to great tunes, a selection of Ballarat's best food and beverage vendors will be onsite, alongside the pop-up Garden Bar brought to by Aunty Jacks, Kilderkin Distillery and Blue Pyrenees Estate Winery to quench summer thirsts for patrons 18 years and over.

Residents and visitors are welcome to bring a picnic for a relaxed afternoon of entertainment. Remember that the gardens are a heritage listed so ball games and climbing trees are not allowed.

Summer Sundays is a free event. For further information visit Summer Sundays Ballarat on Facebook.

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
