The event will raise much needed funds for the educational awareness for mental health and suicide prevention, with funds going to the Centre for Rural & Remote Mental Health.

The Centre for Rural and Remote Mental Health is based in Orange NSW and is a major rural initiative of the University of Newcastle and the NSW Ministry of Health.

The Centre and its staff, located across rural NSW, are committed to improving the mental health, wellbeing and resilience of rural and remote people and understanding and responding to rural suicide.

Headlined by the Hoodoo Gurus & Mark Seymour (Hunters & Collectors), the event will also see 1927, ARC Supergroup with members of Powderfinger, Spiderbait & Jet, Jacobs Run, Brewn and Montgomery Church play from 1:30pm.

Special guests and local artists will also feature during the afternoon.

Gates open at 1pm.

The event is proud to have a number of major sponsors on board, including REX Airlines, Parkes Shire Council, Stage Kings, 123Tix, Coates Hire and Destination Country & Outback NSW.

Efforts to source and use all other infrastructure, accommodation and event requirements have been sourced locally, where possible.

It is anticipated that many people will travel to the area, providing an injection into the local economy, a positive flow on from the event being held in regional New South Wales.

Kids under 12 are free and welcome to the event, with all activities provided on the day.

Food vendors, a VIP marquee and other stalls will provide a great festival atmosphere.
