Music from the 50s, 60s and 70s is often regarded as some of the most prized music of all time, so you'll only be hearing the best at this Australian music festival held in Cowra. From classic rock 'n' roll to disco and country, the Baby Boomers Music Festival pays tribute to decades past and encourages its attendees to dust out their closets and come dressed up in matching styles worn in the past—there are even prizes offered for the best groups and individuals in costume.
Reviving memories with music, this festival has performers who pay homage to legends like Elvis and Johnny Cash. Aside from music, there's also a vintage car show to fully immerse baby boomers in nostalgia.
