Proudly presented by Icon Water and Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council, Music by the River is now in its tenth year!
The music of Queen will be featured, so join us in celebrating a decade of Music by the River along the banks of the Queanbeyan River.
Held in Queen Elizabeth II Park on the banks of the Queanbeyan River, this is an event the whole family will enjoy. There will be food and drink stalls or bring your own picnic!
Kirrah Amosa returns for a second year and will be joined the Canberra Symphony Orchestra for a show-stopping tribute.
The first release of tickets will go on sale from 12pm on 1 December 2025. Link to ticket sales will be available here and on the Facebook event page.
