Off Grid Lifestyle Expo returns

GET ready for a night of electronic roots grooves as Tijuana Cartel takes the stage at The Brewery in the Imperial Hotel Eumundi on Saturday 8 July.

The performance is part of their Acid Pony tour and they will be supported by the talented Lila Swain.

Having toured extensively both in Australia and Europe, Tijuana Cartel is wrapping up its final shows before heading back to the studio for the winter season.

Winners of Best Live Act at the Gold Coast Music Awards, Tijuana Cartel have established themselves on the Australian music scene as one of the country’s most exciting live acts.

Supporting Tijuana Cartel is the talented Lila Swain who presents a finessed blend of soul and electronica. Lila has a voice that is both childlike and ageless, terrestrial yet otherworldly, with a dark romantic intensity that lures the audience into secret worlds they hold within.

This is an 18+ event.

THE highly anticipated Off Grid Lifestyle Expo is just two months away and is already shaping up to be a must-attend event for anyone seeking a sustainable and self-sufficient lifestyle. This year’s expo, to be held at the Goomeri Showgrounds on 2–3 September, has built upon the success of its previous events, attracting vendors and exhibitors from New South Wales and Victoria in addition to the impressive lineup of local Queensland businesses.

Exhibitors will showcase everything from solar power systems to innovative toilet solutions. There will also be educational workshops on various sustainable living topics and an array of lifestyle vendors offering unique products and services.

Whether it’s learning about bats and bees, exploring plant offerings or discovering practical off-grid solutions, attendees will have the opportunity to engage with experts and like-minded individuals who share a passion for sustainable living.

While the expo’s website is being updated as exhibitors are confirmed, organisers are encouraging businesses and enthusiastic individuals to book a stall to share their knowledge and passions or run a workshop.

The Off Grid Lifestyle Expo is designed to cater to all ages and interests, ensuring a memorable experience for everyone.

The Goomeri Showgrounds provides the perfect setting for the expo, offering ample space for exhibitors, workshops, and engaging activities.
