4. Smalls Festival: A mini festival within a festival for the little ones and for families. This new addition to the Marion Bay event provides a safe and friendly space for the kids while parents sit back and relax while their little ones play.

Okay, okay, you got us. We couldn’t narrow it down to just five.

Here are a few honourable mentions.

6. Comedy: Bounce into each day with a laugh with the Falls Festival comedy club opening the Field Stage each day. This year’s comedy line-up includes the likes of Rhys Nicholson, Styph Tisdell, Daniel Townes, The Stevenson Experience and Gen Fricker.

7. The Food: There will be plenty of tasty delights and great Tasmanian produce available across the festival grounds. Be sure to check out rge Feasting Field near the Field Stage.

8. The Beach: It is only a 10-minute walk to the sapphire waters that can be seen behind the Valley Stage. The beach is perfect for a steaming hot day and is patrolled by life guards. The designated track to the beach is well signposted.
