When one listens to music, the body starts swaying, the feet tap, and the fingers create a drumbeat on the nearest surface. But when that music is live, the experience becomes even more incredible. One such live event is the Byron Bay Blues Festival, a six-day celebration of music that offers on-site accommodation, facilities, and a lineup of renowned performers. The festival takes place in New South Wales, Australia.
The original venue for this twenty-one-year-old gala was the Byron Bay Arts Factory, but since its inception in 1990, it has been hosted at numerous different locations. This year, the hosting location is the Tyagarah Tea Tree Farm, situated eleven kilometers north of Byron Bay, spanning a vast 1,120-hectare plantation.
The charming tourist town of Byron Bay offers various types of accommodation to cater to different needs, preferences, and desires. From upscale hotels to cozy motels, clean self-contained apartments, and beachside caravan parks, there is something for everyone. To promote responsible drinking, the organizers of the event are running a shuttle bus between Tyagarah and the city center. Tickets have been sold for 17,500 people per day, and free parking is available near the festival grounds.
