The Gellibrand River Blues & Blueberry Festival always kicks off  with the Market Day in the Rex Norman Reserve, where there is Otways produce, including blueberry fruit, plants and conserves and a chance to learn about the industry. There is also local Arts and Craft on display and sale, as well as food and local entertainment. This is followed by The Music Festival  which takes place in the afternoon at the Otways Tourist Park and features some of the top Australian Blues Talent.
