Thats right, The Big Chill is an all-ages event. Little Chillers is a zone for the little ones that’s big on fun, keeping hands busy and hearts full with face painting, arts and crafts, interactive experiences, giant games, circus acts and their very own live entertainment. (Parents rejoice!). Keep your eyes peeled for the full Little Chillers program to be announced.
Feel like getting fresh? Then the Big Chilly Dip at the dreamy Dumaresq Dam is for you! Choose your own adventure with a Cold Water Plunge, Short Swim (50m), Across the Dam (400m) or for the brave hearted the Pro Swimmer Chilly Mile (1600m).
BYO swimming trunks, wetsuit, towel, hot water bottle, whatever you can find to keep warm alongside an upbeat, piping hot attitude. We’ll provide the beanies, B&E rolls and cheers of support from the sidelines.
Note: This event is not included in your Big Chill Festival pass — tickets must be purchased separately.
