Since 2017 Esoteric Music Festival has been an important feature on the Victorian music festival calendar and injects millions of dollars into regional tourism in the state, the local community of Donald and surrounds. We also continue to provide thousands of jobs to industry personnel and local co

ntractors that are relying on the festival going ahead this year.
Ensuring festival goers are safe is our number one priority and we have put in place stringent measures following the Victorian Health Department's recommendations last year which showed organisers contained the unfortunate outbreak extremely well.

We continue to work closely with Buloke Shire Council and the relevant authorities so that the festival can go ahead as planned and we are hopeful they will vote in favour of granting the permit on Monday. We have provided all the necessary documentation required for the application, including approvals from the emergency services Victoria Police, Country Fire Authority and Ambulance Victoria. There is no reason for the festival not to go ahead.
