Cabin Fever is rolling into the South West from 17–26 July, and while your calendar might already be stacked with fire-lit feasts, live music and late night dance floors, don’t sleep on this: we’re taking over the towns too.
From Margaret River and Busselton to Dunsborough and Cowaramup to Witchcliffe, local venues are embracing the Cabin Fever spirit with exclusive winter specials, cosy pop-ups and delicious excuses to linger a little longer.
Think post-event pints, fireside snacks, happy hours, long lunches and local favourites putting on something just for Cabin Fever.
Some specials are available throughout the festival, while others are popping up for one weekend only, so check the dates below before you head out.
