Scarborough Sounds: Live

Father's Day on the Peninsula is set to hit all the right notes this year with the huge Scarborough Sounds event returning for its second year as part of the Redcliffe Festival.

Last year's inaugural event drew more than 5000 punters out for an afternoon of music, food and fun, so the decision was made to keep it as a regular addition to the Redcliffe Festival calendar.

Scarborough Sounds was created to offer amazing musical acts in a park setting on Father's Day,� Moreton Bay Region Industry and Tourism chief executive Shane Newcombe says.

In 2015 the event reached capacity, so 2016 has seen the event site expanded and entertainment increased to accommodate for growing numbers.

It offers visitors and locals a free event to spend a quality afternoon and evening with family and friends enjoying music and a picnic in the park.�

Also, Newcombe says with an expanded site comes a bigger and better line-up of bands and entertainment.

Audiences can expect to enjoy some

of the best live music around,� he says.

This year we have the Hot Potato Band playing ' the 11-piece brass band, fresh from their acclaimed shows at Woodford Folk Festival 2015 and one of Australia's most toured music groups.

The main stage will also have Parasol featuring Frankie Smart, Thomas Armstrong-Robley & Suited to You, and Soulstice ' an incredible a capella group.

Alongside the bands, families can enjoy gourmet picnic food and markets, wine, and a huge bonfire on the beach.�

Best of all, Scarborough Sounds is a free event, which should put an even bigger smile on all the dads' faces.

The event is intentionally held on Father's Day so families, both local and visiting, will thoroughly enjoy Scarborough Sounds,� Newcombe says.
