Indie pop-rock outfit Thunder Fox and South Coast favourites, The Spindrift Saga and Sam Fletcher, will headline the all-ages Currents music event this year at Moruya's Riverside Park on Saturday, April 24.
As well as the big-name acts, local high school bands will compete in a battle of the bands - giving local up-and-coming musicians a chance to play in front of a solid crowd.
Batemans Bay's headspace will bring lawn games, like giant Jenga and Connect 4, tie-dying, painting, crochet, and more, as well as a one-stop-shop information stall on mental health, alcohol and other drugs, sexual health and bushfire recovery.
Food vans will keep the crowd fed, with limited free food available, and PowerFM will broadcast live from Currents throughout the day.
Community development coordinator Zoe Morgan said it was a great opportunity to get together with your mates, let loose and have some fun.
"If it's raining the event will still go ahead at the Moruya RSL Hall, so lock the date in your calendar," she said.
Currents kicks off at 2pm, with Narooma High, Batemans Bay High, Carroll College, Moruya High and St Peter's Anglican College bands battling for bragging rights. The scheduled acts will be held 4.30-7pm.
The Youth Week event will also include a digital exhibition of photos submitted for the council's Photos of Hope project.
The festival will is organised for the shire's youth, by youth, with the support of the Eurobodalla Shire Council, Coordinaire, Campbell Page and headspace.
