Darker Days returns to brighten the dark days of winter in Bright on Saturday June 30 2018.

Darker Days is a dark beer and mid-winter festival that brings together High Country producers and operators, entertainers, beer lovers and families to toast the season and welcome the return of lighter days following the Winter Solstice.

Darker Days is a showcase of local produce and activities that celebrate winter in Victoria’s Alpine valleys. This family friendly and community-minded festival is centered around locally produced dark beers and warming foods, along with live music and winter activities.

After the sun sets, Bright Brewery’s riverside lands will truly come alive with a spectacular ceremonial burning of a giant wooden structure in the shape of Bright Brewery’s logo.

Come gather around the fires to make damper and to roast marshmallows and chestnuts. Hear campfire tales and maybe even a ghost story or two.

It will be a full day of mid-winter fun.
