4 more sleeps! Only a few days until Wanderer Festival lights up the Sapphire Coast!
The weather gods have truly smiled on us! Balmy spring sunshine and clear skies are set to grace us all weekend long. Let’s make the most of this spectacular weather.
Pitch a tent in the festival campground for a handy base, then pop down to Pambula Beach for your morning dip in the sea. Campground gates open 4pm on Friday & close at 12 noon on Monday, so you can arrive early and leave late for a cruisy stay.
Don’t wait – tickets are limited and selling fast. Wanderer only happens every two years, so if you miss this one, you’ll have a long wait until 2027. If you’re prone to FOMO, make sure you grab tickets for both days.
Map out your festival weekend with the Wanderer Festival Program Guide, Set Times and Festival App.
Dive into our Spotify playlist – whether you’re cruising down to the Sapphire Coast or just soaking up the vibes at home, we’ve got the perfect soundtrack.
We’re thrilled to present Friday Night Cinema for onsite campers! Settle in for Studio Ghibli classic My Neighbor Totoro, Jim Henson’s musical fantasy Labyrinth featuring David Bowie, and Stop Making Sense, a 1983 live concert performance by Talking Heads.
Gates open 4pm Friday. Grab pizza or dumplings from 6pm, then join us for classic films under the moonlit sky. The perfect way to kick off your festival weekend!

The countdown to your epic music and art adventure is on. Tickets are flying out the door… avoid FOMO and join us for an unforgettable weekend!!
Parking is available opposite the event though we also recommend car pooling, cycling and catching the bus. Parking on nature strips is illegal in NSW unless signage permits it. To avoid hefty fines, avoid parking in Pambula Beach residential areas and anywhere not specifically permitted by signage.
Buses are the go for getting around on festival weekend. Whether you are staying onsite and wanting to get out and about, or needing a ride to and from home locally, check the bus timetable and ticketing for the Sapphire Coast Bus Lines dedicated festival service. Bus passes must be pre-purchased. Plan your trip early for a smooth journey.
Cycling is another great way to get around and racks are provided at the festival (BYO bike lock).
We can’t wait to party with you all!
