All aboard the .



Back in October 2016, we were lucky enough to be up close and personal to hear Jojo Smith and Geoffrey Williams as we rode around the streets of Bendigo aboard the historic Blues Tram.



This is a unique way to enjoy live music as part of the Bendigo Blues & Roots Music Festival , a four day event which will return once again to Bendigo on the 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th of November 2017.

The tram rolls off from the Central Deborah Goldmine and makes a couple of short pit stops along the way at the Bendigo Tramways Depot ( if you have time, checkout the Vintage Talking Tram Tour and the Anzac Centenary Tram) and the Bendigo Joss House Temple before heading back.



Sessions last approximately 2.5 hours and beer, wine, soft drinks and snacks (chips, nuts, etc.) are available, so you can enjoy a relaxed drink aboard whilst listening to some fabulous music. No bathroom on board, so time those pit stops well.

"Everyone who rides the Blues Tram leaves with a smile on their face" said the Bendigo Blues and Roots Festival director Colin Thompson.

With Bendigo being only 150km (approximately 1.5 hours) away, it's an easy daytrip. Better still, stay the weekend and enjoy this vibrant city with its beautiful heritage buildings, thriving arts scene, delicious food and wine offerings all set against its rich history.

The cost of each session is $35.00 and this is an over 18 event.
