With a wild mix of instruments—including a giant euphonium, steel drums, violins, a gramophone, and more—The Oompah invites you to step up, make some noise, and be part of the performance! But beware—nothing sounds as you'd expect.

Follow the Music!

Guided by a mysterious performer at the helm, The Oompah will weave through the festival, surprising audiences at every turn. Can you track it down? Listen for the unexpected sounds, chase the rhythm, and join in the fun before it disappears again!

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
