A Festival Called George

More Information

A Festival Called George is a festival celebrating beer, spirits, food, and music. Held in an idyllic rural setting just minutes from St Helens town centre, the free shuttle bus running all day delivers you to into an inviting place to chill out, try some unique beers, delicious Tasmanian spirits, and fantastic food and listen to a stellar line-up Tasmanian music.
