The crowds were quite a bit smaller for day three compared to the first two nights. Thankfully, it was somewhat cooler as well given how hot the first two nights were.
There were plenty of great local acts to take in on Saturday including the Nesrallah Artuso Project, Aspects, BLAKDENIM and Matthew Chaffey. It was also the final evening for Rise Ashen on the Accora Village Spin Stage.
Other acts of note and day three were Blackie and The Rodeo Kings, Sugaray Rayford and the Texas Horns.
Tucked away in the back corner of the festival, Accora Village is a relaxing area with lots of seating and a DJ spinning tunes from 6 to 9:30 each night. If you’re looking for a place to chill, get some shade or have a little break while you wait for your next act, then Accora Village might be just what you’re looking for.
