Nightjar Festival returns to Torquay this summer, two nights of bold music, live art, and community energy that can’t be bottled. It’s a place where Australian musicians take the spotlight, creators’ experiment, and audiences discover something new at every turn. Food trucks hum with flavours, boutique bars pour local favourites, and performers roam the crowd with surprise and delight. From young families to music lovers seeking a night out, Nightjar is made for everyone, offering moments that spark connection, curiosity, and pure summer joy—an experience that stays with you long after the last note fades.
