Dan Sultan headlines the day, which includes music, dance, rides, community stalls and food outside on the Museum forecourt and AIATSIS Amphitheatre.

Performances include Microwave Jenny, The Last Kinection, the Zugubal Dancers (Torres Strait Islander dancers from Badu Island) and the Wiradjuri Echoes (Aboriginal dancers) as well as local musicians Hung Parliament, Johnny Huckle, Hidden Desire, Stick N Move and the Riverbank Band.
