Important:

Tickets go on sale mid-March so if we want to get a great camping area we have to act quickly. What you need to do now:

  • Check out the website, particularly if you have not been before. tarafestival.com.au Check out the camping areas and see what you think would be our preferred camping zone.
  • My suggestiong for camping zone is racecourse west, along the fence line so we don't have people camped all around us, as close to the festival as possible.
  • OR Polocrosse West as close to the entrance as possible.
  • Every member of our group must supply the correct details before tickets go live. There needs to be a minimum of 7 sites between us to get a dedicated group area.
  • We register the group, THEN each member can book their own festival tickets and campsite using our group name.

Visit website to book - Details to be advised.


Group bookings must be paid by 31 May 2024.
