Castlemaine Idyll is Castlemaine’s ultimate talent quest and fundraiser for lot19. Idyll has been running for over 15 years and brings together 800 people in joyous harmony.

The annual event is like a cross between a reality tv show, your high school eisteddfod, and the best karaoke night of your life.  Local hopefuls apply to sing a song in front of the crowd, backed by a professional band with horn section and backing singers.
