It had reached a warm 16°C in Merimbula by 1:30pm for the first day of the long-weekend, but a gusty breeze had picked up around the same time with 50km/h gusts of wind.
Food was taken care of with delicious local oysters from Wheelers, Japanese inspired dishes by local pop up kings, J-Bird and hot fresh pizza from Sapphire Coast Eats.
Scaramouche, Sugarants, The Chordroys and other great local musical talent played the afternoon away, while festival goers ate tasty food and drank beverages thanks to Longstocking Brewery, North of Eden Gin, Grand Matriarch Vodka and Breakfast Creek Wines.
Hillcrest Motel Merimbula has also been playing host to an exhibition of vintage surfboards, photos, stories and memorabilia - celebrating the iconic Wintersun Designs of Pambula.
The exhibition would be open Saturday-Monday over the long weekend from 12-4pm each day.
