THE Sale Music Festival – also known as Picnic On the Green – is a free annual community event for the whole family.

Normally held in the Sale Botanic Gardens, 2023’s festival will take place at the Port of Sale precinct on Sunday, March 12.

Commencing at 11am, a fabulous line-up of amazing musicians is being promised, taking to the stage to provide entertainment until 7pm.

Harry Hook starts the ball rolling, followed by Matt Peter Fry, SweetLip, the Davidson Brothers, Danny Spencer and the Todd Cook Band, finishing up with Cara Schaefer & the John Gibson Band – music to suit everyone’s tastes.

Bring your own picnic or choose from a selection of food available, including a barbeque, devonshire teas, ice creams and drinks, milkshakes and coffee. Picnic hampers can be pre-ordered at Padula’s, Raymond St, Sale.

Pack your chairs and picnic rugs, and be prepared to settle in for the day.

There will be plenty of activities for the kids, including storytelling, making musical instruments, and ‘Bug Blitz’ once again.

The laid-back atmosphere won’t disappoint, overlooking the magnificent Port.

You may even want to take a ride along the canal in the Rubeena!
