Mount Barker District Council is proudly partnering with unique Adelaide Hills arts venue The Cheese Factory to present Tunes For Trees - two days of incredible live music, where every ticket sold contributes to restoring our beautiful local environment.

Running from 12pm-6pm on both Saturday and Sunday, Saturday’s lineup has a ‘modern folk’ feeling to it, with the award-winning talents of Naomi Keyte and Loren Kate. Sunday leans into sophisticated jazz vibes, with Dave McEvoy and Mélange Latino. There’s also a chance for Saturday’s attendees to join a Pop-Up Choir in the bar led by the amazing Natalie Ermer, while Sunday’s barflies can soak up the sounds of local piano prodigy, 17-year-old Jed Oster-Ives.

Every ticket sold includes a native tree sapling for the purchaser which can either be collected from the venue and planted at home or donated to Council’s community tree planting program. Additional native trees and plants will also be for sale on the day and there will be plenty of time to wander the gorgeous gardens of the Cheese Factory perusing the plant life on offer!

Tunes for Trees is part of the inaugural statewide climate action festival Adelaide Climate Action Week which runs from Monday 27 July until Sunday 2 August.

On the weekend before this event, Council is holding its annual planting event for National Tree Day at Springs Wetland, Mount Barker. We’d love to see you there! Click here for further info.

Bringing people together through stories, music and culture. A night to share, listen, learn and connect.

As part of Adelaide Climate Action Week, Our Country, Our Voices: First Nations Voices for Country is an evening celebrating the strength of First Nations voices through storytelling, music, spoken word and creative expression.

The event creates a welcoming space for First Nations people to share stories, experiences and connection to Country, while exploring climate change, caring for Country and our shared responsibility to create a more sustainable future. Through creativity and conversation, the evening invites people to listen, learn, connect and reflect on the important role we all play in caring for Country.

More than a showcase, this is an opportunity to inspire action, strengthen relationships and build a shared commitment to caring for Country. Together, we’ll celebrate First Nations voices, deepen understanding and explore how culture, community and collective action can create lasting impact for future generations.

Whether you’re performing, sharing a story or simply coming along to listen, we’d love you to join us for an inspiring evening of connection with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Come together to celebrate culture, hear diverse voices, build new relationships and be part of conversations that inspire action and strengthen our collective care for Country.

If you are an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person who wants to join the open mic night, has a story to share that fits in with the theme of the night, register your details here and we will get in touch with you soon. Click here to register.

Come join us at the end of the week for a great night out. Please pass on to your friends, networks and anyone you know so we can get a good crowd there on the night

Tickets To help make the event as accessible as possible, tickets are available on a pay what you feel basis. We simply ask you to contribute an amount that you feel is appropriate, affordable or reflects the value of the evening to you. Every contribution helps cover the costs of delivering this event and supports the creation of more community gatherings that celebrate First Nations voices, strengthen connections and inspire climate action.
