Participants could discover their musical talents by learning a new instrument, sharing their voice at an open mic, or connecting with fellow musicians in jam sessions.
Despite sweltering heat, dedicated organisers quickly adapted by moving the festival indoors, ensuring the show could go on.
Girgarre Town Development committee chair Jan Smith said it was the biggest test the Moosic Muster had had to face.
For festival-goers, however, the venue change didn’t dampen their enthusiasm.
“I look around here and I’m amazed at the talent that’s unhidden in small communities,” Jan said.
Aftertwo days of music and community celebration, organisers announced the difficult decision to cancel the remaining Moosic Muster activities for safety reasons due to the catastrophic fire danger warning.
The Free Press was there to capture some of the Moosic Muster activities.
