Bundaleer Forest is serene at any time of the year, but for an experience you will never forget step inside the forest during Bundaleer Forest Weekend and you will not be disappointed.

Scattered amongst the dappled shade of the Maple Walk and Sculpture Walk as they twist and turn their way through the forest, there will be music and performers of every persuasion.

Take a stroll to any of the 14 performance sites, take a seat on a hay bale and soak up the atmosphere that has helped make Bundaleer Forest Weekend one of the biggest, best value regional music festivals in Australia.

A stroll around the Maple Walk - with stop offs at the sculpture sites and time to relax and enjoy the entertainment - will take about 60 minutes.

For the more adventurous, why not head off on the 90-minute Panoramic Walk and be rewarded with truly spectacular views across the horizon and toward the nearby wind farm, and be met by the equally impressive sounds of the bagpipes of the Southern Districts Pipes and Drums.

The weekend Forest Performance Walks are open from 1pm-4pm on Saturday.

On Sunday an abridged version of the walks program will operate from 11.30am-1pm, with the full program from 1pm-3pm.

A huge line-up of entertainers is planned, head along and enjoy:

The Adelaide Chamber Singers, widely regarded as one of Australia's leading chamber choirs, comprising some of Adelaide's best and most experienced ensemble singers.

The fabulous sounds of The Band of SA Police's Saxophone Quartet, Clarinet Quartet and Brass Quintet.

Silly, charismatic juggler Mr Spin with sassy cigar box mistress Miss Pamela Pink in the all singing, all dancing Pammy & Spin Show.

Emma Horwood on harp magically blending the music of the angels with the tranquility of the forest.

Poet Jules Leigh Koch reciting some of his published works.

The Southern Districts Pipes & Drums high atop the Bundaleer hills, alongside the stone wall, breathtaking views matched by breathtaking sounds.

Aphid's Underground - amazing miniature percussion instruments being performed for the first time in South Australia and for the first time ever in an outdoor venue.

See artists in action with local artist Helen Pammenter and her group of painters.

Be surprised and delighted by the roving Grace & Grunt, a trio of colourful, whacky 1950s housewives.

Desert Voices, the Port Augusta choral group open to everybody and gaining momentum as a popular performance group.

The Desperados is a trio playing violin, accordion and string bass, bringing together a wide range of styles, anything from classic rock of the 60's and 70's to Greek, Rumanian and French folk songs.

Indian music duo Josh Bennett and Jay Dabgar on sitar and tabla.

West African inspired rhythm and song from Tumbadrum
and Dada Nii.

Annika Hooper performs, fresh from the Adelaide Fringe, expect to be inspired and entertained by this talented blind singer.

Jake Taylor, be amazed by the talent of this up and coming 17-year-old violinist.

Plus so much more. Do not miss this opportunity to see it all in one festival event, amidst one of the most beautiful concert halls in the world - nature's own Bundaleer Forest.

There will be food, fun and entertainment - the perfect score for an unforgettable weekend.
