A Day at the Creek - held on the lawns of Mole Creek Hotel - is an annual, multi-day event that showcases the talents of tribute bands.
Organiser Doug Westbrook said the event had been "absolutely fantastic" so far.
"[The festival] is better than what I ever could have imagined," he said.

"We like to cater for the baby boomers, and for good old rock and roll - 60s and 70s music."
Mr Westbrook said the festival was the first multi-day event in the area since COVID-19 that allowed people to camp and stay.
Leanne Wickham, of Meander Valley, attended to watch her daughter sing with Tristan Webb and Friends.
"[I am] absolutely loving it. The atmosphere is just fantastic," she said.

Due to the pandemic, most of the acts this year were Tasmanian - with only two fly-in acts attending.
"We could have had more [acts from interstate] but we thought, 'let's give the local kids a go'," Mr Westbrook said.
Tom Wolfe, of The Wolfe Brothers, said the group had been itching to get back on the road.
"These sort of country gigs really are the best," he said.
Wolfe said the group were debuting some new songs, never heard before, at the festival.
Gina Timms, another act, said she had the best time on stage and was proud to be a part of the festival.
"It's going to be a ripper weekend," she said.
One of the best to judge how the weekend had gone so far was MC Adam Page.
"You can tell everyone is really happy to be here, in a crowd environment, listening to some good quality music," he said.
Tickets are still available for Sunday's event at adayatthecreek.com.au, with money being raised for both Rotary Tasmania and Cancer Council Tasmania.
