MUSIC at the Healesville Track is back for its second year of great music and entertainment.
With an eclectic collection of talented artists, great food and wine, local breweries and much more the Healesville Picnic Race Track will go at a slower pace on Sunday 20 November.
The festival kicks off at midday, winding up at around 8pm, allowing locals and visitors a lazy Sunday afternoon in beautiful surroundings, listening to great music and sampling the delights of Yarra Valley produce, wine and beer makers.

The Live and Local stage will feature up coming acts including Ewan Cloonan, Cavey and his band, The Marlee Tree, Richie Langford and the Engine Room, Louie and The Pride, The Crooks and Ian Bland and band.
Profits from the volunteer-run day go back in to the race club, to assist with community projects.
