Holy smokes\u2026 it’s happening! ExplorerFest is just days away, and the excitement is building. We\u2019ve talked about activities and inspiration, now it\u2019s time for the entertainment.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We\u2019ve got that same energy as the last day of school \u2013 a giddy anticipation, like the first taste of summer freedom. The tents are ready, the gum boots are on, the line-up\u2019s stacked, and we\u2019re gearing up for one hell of a weekend.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

ExplorerFest has three pillars, and number three is Entertainment. Boy, do we have a lot of it. Let\u2019s dig in.<\/span><\/p>\n

Osprey Basecamp<\/h2>\n

As our Pinnacle Sponsor, Osprey<\/a> has played a massive role in bringing ExplorerFest to life \u2013 and let\u2019s be real, they also make some of the best hiking and travel packs you\u2019ll ever sling over your shoulders.<\/p>\n

Head to their inflatable marquee beside the Main Stage to get fitted for a pack, watch packing demos, and chat with the team. Look out for the Mountain Climber machine, where you can compete for the most elevation!<\/p>\n

Dometic Chill Zone<\/h2>\n

Need a breather from the action? Swing by the Dometic<\/a> Chill Zone, your oasis of calm in the heart of the fest. With free phone charging, chilled water refills, and a viewing deck to take it all in, it\u2019s the perfect place to kick back like an off-grid camping lord.<\/p>\n

There will also be lawn games and a gallery to check out stills from Project Zero \u2013 a documentary following a global expedition of the planet\u2019s most vulnerable and remote areas.<\/p>\n

Sea to Summit Hub & Camp Village<\/h2>\n

As an Aussie brand with over 30 years of crafting award-winning, high-quality gear, Sea to Summit<\/a> is bringing fun and games with challenges, featuring their kit. Make sure to stop in to play, win, and celebrate adventure with the crew.<\/p>\n

The North Face Story Slam<\/h2>\n

Gather ’round the Main Stage for a proper yarn. Thanks to The North Face<\/a>, we\u2019re bringing some wild and wonderful tales of adventure \u2013 and misadventure \u2013 to life, with a lively crowd to match. Think campfire storytelling meets open mic night, all hosted by MC Caro Ryan from Lotsafreshair<\/a>. There\u2019ll be a judging panel and prizes for the top storytellers!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Project Zero Premiere at the Dometic Pop-Up Cinema<\/h2>\n

We\u2019re chuffed to be hosting the world premiere of Project Zero<\/a>, a stunning new adventure film by Dometic about a two-year climate change-focused expedition. Head to the Dometic Chill Zone for a special screening, followed by a live Q&A with the filmmaking crew. It\u2019s raw, real, and seriously inspiring.<\/p>\n

Wood-Fired Sauna and Icebath<\/h2>\n

Get ready to kick back and relax your muscles in Cedar & Salt<\/a>\u2019s authentic Finnish wood-fired sauna. With space for 12 people, the sauna (which is clad in New Zealand redwood and features a huge window!) is the perfect place to warm up before or after an ocean dip. Or, you can chill right out in their ice bath.<\/p>\n

Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service Heli Hub<\/h2>\n

WRHS<\/a> do fantastic work keeping us safe in the great outdoors, so we figured they\u2019d make a great charity partner for ExplorerFest!<\/p>\n

The Heli Hub is where you’ll learn more about their life-saving work, grab a sausage sizzle or bacon and egg roll, and nab a raffle ticket (with Explorer-themed prizes). Catch their crew doing Q&As and telling incredible rescue stories.<\/p>\n

OM System Photobooth<\/h2>\n

All good festivals need a photobooth, and our mates at OM System have delivered!<\/p>\n

The OM System<\/a> team will have a backdrop set up, complete with a dreamy forest image, plants, wooden logos, and swing chairs so you can capture the kooky ExplorerFest magic with your crew.<\/p>\n
