The much-loved community event heads to Augusta for one night only!
The Arts Margaret River Sundowners are a much-loved annual series of free family concerts - and it's heading to Augusta for one night only.
This year's event will feature Tanya Ransom and Friends and South 76 (read more below).
The Sundowners are a wonderful opportunity to bring the community together and introduce audiences to a variety of musical styles, while supporting local musicians. They've also become a cherished family tradition, with attendees sometimes spanning four generations, gathering on the lawn with their picnics to enjoy the music, the atmosphere, and the beautiful setting.
The Shire of Augusta Margaret River is delighted to support Arts Margaret River deliver these events through our Community Development and Events Grants to showcase the incredible talent of our local musicians and connect, strengthen, and celebrate our region.
Please note that, due to Liquor Licensing Legislation, no BYO alcohol is permitted at the Augusta Hotel.

South 76
South 76 roll into Augusta with a blend of coastal grit, rural honesty, and a touch of mystic freedom. Born of salt, dust and open skies, this South West five-piece grew from the wild stretch of country where the Southern Ocean meets rugged farmland — the land that gave them their name. Their sound weaves country rock, blues and roots into swamp stompin’ originals, reimagined favourites and harmonies shaped by gravel roads, salt-stained summers and the confines of long grey winters. Onstage, South 76 bring a show that’s equal parts grounded and untamed — rich vocals, electric energy, and the kind of storytelling that feels lived-in and close to home.
