We’ve been successful in attracting additional support from Creative Victoria for live and local music every Sunday at Watts River Brewing.
Sunday’s can be more relaxed in 2026, with a great line-up of amazing Yarra Valley and Melbourne-based performers.
From 2pm every Sunday from 25 January to 7 June 2026, you’ll find a range of very different artists sharing their creative talents.
Check out the full list of performers – from soul to country to rock n’ roll – via the button below.
Every Sunday you can keep the kids cool and happy at Watts River Brewing.
Kids can receive free slushies all day, while you enjoy some time out of the house with a cold drink of your own.
The slushies are sugar free and the current flavour is lime.
We’ll also have live music every Sunday afternoon as part of Creative Victoria’s #10000Gigs program.
Enjoy the summer in comfort at Watts River Brewing.
We’ve got all types and tastes of live and local music to entertain you all summer long!
Your sounds of summer are at Watts River Brewing every Friday night.
