Even more to discover
The music is only part of the Long Road experience. Families can look forward to a packed programme in Lil Possum County, with scavenger hunts, arts and crafts, frisbee golf, campfire singing and plenty more activities for our youngest Long Roaders throughout the weekend.
Arriving on Thursday? Your festival starts even earlier with the Big Nash Bash, bringing live music, DJs and late-night fun, alongside the Honky Tonk Hoedown, where you can enjoy line dancing, live performances and the much-loved Two Ways Home – Writers Round. If you haven’t already added Thursday Early Entry to your booking, there’s still time to make the most of an extra evening at The Long Road.
