Okee Dokey! We're just over three weeks out, and we'll be setting up before we know it, so here are FAQs early for reference:
HALLS GAP SHUTTLE BUS: Halls Gap is far from Lygon Street, so no Ubers or taxis, but Christian's Bus Co. is running a shuttle. Check it out - https://bit.ly/HGShuttle
REGIONAL BUSES (outside of Halls Gap): Christians Bus Co. is also gearing up to whisk you away and back again from Ararat, Stawell, Dadswells Bridge, Pomonal, Lake Fyans, Moyston, Great Western, Hamilton, Willaura, and Horsham. But pssst, limited spots are available, so don't snooze on booking - https://bit.ly/ChristiansBus
TICKETS: Pre-purchase and save ca-ca-cash. Here's a direct link if you know what you're after - https://bit.ly/GGETix (or hit the website up for more deets). Also, if you need to resell your tickets or help a fellow festival-goer out, Tixel is our ticket resale hangout. https://bit.ly/GGETixel
ACCOMMODATION: From tiny houses, cosy cabins, campsites to luxury stays, the Grampians have got you covered. And with buses heading from all of the places above, what's a 30-minute trip? We've gone down βreelsβ rabbit holes longer than that! Plan here - https://bit.ly/GGEAccomm
MOTHER'S DAY: Before you add-2-cart on "Teh-Moo", remember, GGE has loads of Mother's Day options.
EATING OUT: Oh, the adventures you'll have beyond the festival gates! If you're into wining and dining (who isn't?), a heads-up: reservations are the golden ticket for eating out. We've also got a solid Plan Bβgrab takeaway delights from our food truck line up as your festival farewell feast.
FEEL-GOOD FRIDAY: FGF is the perfect blend of low-key vibes and high-fun. Sometimes a good time is as simple as good drinks, good food, good tunes. Make your taste buds boogie with Dumplings, Pizza, Bao Buns and Donuts. Plus, FGF gives you the chance to support wineries impacted by the summer bushfires, like Pomonal Estate (wine, beer, cider, ginger beer) and Mountainside Wines, and spirits at the festival bar to keep the good times rolling. So come and see how amazing our local musicians are including Soulty, Trapezoid, No Plans, The Settlement, and Orange Whip.
TEXAS HOLD 'EM: Yes, The Narratives of Hope will be belting out this tune, and yes, we are seeking stage dancers. That's probably it for now; we'll come through with a bit more of the finer details later.
