RockFish: A Youth-Driven Festival of Music, Fishing & Fun!

Young people across the Shire are set to take centre stage as RockFish—a free, high-energy event featuring live music, a fishing competition, and food vans—lands at the Euroa Arboretum on Saturday, 19th April 2025, from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

Co-designed by the Strathbogie Rocks FReeZA Youth Crew, RockFish is an exciting vape, tobacco, drug, and alcohol-free event that provides a safe and fun space for young people to connect, celebrate, and enjoy great entertainment.

The event will showcase electric bands including The Viceroys, Ungraded and Punk Band from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM, followed by acoustic acts Lillian Kilroy, Jeremiah, Grace and Danny and more from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

Meanwhile, a fishing competition will run from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM, offering prizes for the best catches of the day.

RockFish will celebrate young people’s music and culture while also bringing together the community to connect, engage, and enjoy the beautiful region in which we live. Attendees can enjoy a variety of food vans, giveaways, and community activities throughout the event.

Funded by Freeza and The Community Recovery Hub which is jointly funded by the Australian and Victorian Governments through the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA), RockFish is part of a broader initiative to support youth-led events that build community connections and resilience.

“RockFish is all about giving young people a space to enjoy live music, the outdoors, and each other’s company in a positive and welcoming environment,” said Mayor, Cr Claire Ewart-Kennedy “This event has been shaped by young people for young people, and we’re excited to see it come to life.”

The event is free to attend, and all young people, families, and community members are encouraged to join in.
