Twenty-two years ago the Queenscliff Music Festival came to life, and the Blues Train has been working with the festival almost since the day it was created.
This weekend the Blues Train steams into Queenscliff Station as a designated live music venue for music-lovers in town.
Each year the whole of Queenscliff takes part in the three-day celebration with music spilling out from the festival grounds into various live music venues across town.
This year The Blues Train operates once again as a festival venue, taking part in the festivities on November 24 and 25. The train will commence shows at 9am on Saturday and Sunday departing on the hour, every hour.
