  • Summary

  • Strawberry Fields - Based on the banks of the meandering River Murray in NSW, is an annual celebration of art, sound and creative expression normally held for three days each summer.

    Rooted as deep as the gum trees under which the festival is held, is it’s connection to community; in the past they have supported a Low Income Ticket Program in which festival goers who are socially or economically disadvantaged can apply for a half-priced ticket and as well have previously partnered with Humantix – a ticketing platform that donates all booking fees towards programs aimed at closing the education gap globally.

    Strawberry Field’s Tara Benney, makes her actions speak louder than her words, since the creation of the festival when she was only 19, she has carved a new niche in Australia’s bush doof scene in which festival goers really are encouraged to take nothing but memories and leave nothing but footprints, by championing inclusivity and sustainability and encouraging festival attendees to minimise waste such as the wasteland of cheap tents which haunt the last days of other larger festivals.
