Located between the iconic Victoria Park Lake and the rustic bushlands along the river, Shepparton’s newest event — Goulburn Vibes — came to life as crowds of people rolled out their picnic blankets and settled in to the tunes of local talent.

Greater Shepparton City Council’s economic development manager Anthony Nicolaci said the music festival event was hosted in response to community requests.

‘‘The community’s been asking for more live music in Greater Shepparton, so the council’s taken on board as part of our major events tourism and economic development strategy to do a little bit more in this space,’’ he said.

‘‘Today is all about a family-focused, free, real grassroots community festival — so real focus on local performers, local food and beverages and really celebrating what’s great about Greater Shepparton on our most iconic part of the region at the lake over-looking the river as well.’’

Mr Nicolaci said he was delighted to see so many people enjoying themselves and making the most of the free event.
