The journey continues
As the sun goes down on Midsumma Festival for 2017, why not ease out gently with a few events that continue into the festival twilight. After that, take a little nap before gearing right up again to visit our dear friends at Chillout Festival and MQFF. You know there’s no rest for the wicked, right?
