Deni Ute Muster

NSW October long weekend (Friday and Saturday, early October)

The Deni Ute Muster celebrates the great Australian ute on the plains outside Deniliquin over the NSW October long weekend. Since 1999 it has combined big-name country and rock headliners with world-record ute counts, bull rides, wood chops, driving events and a sea of blue singlets.

About 20,000 people camp on site for the weekend, and the campground is as much a part of the event as the main stage. It is dusty, loud and completely good-natured. Bring camping gear, sun protection and a sense of humour; the Riverina in October can serve four seasons in two days.
