Whole Loddon Love is a series of contemporary music gigs taking place in community halls + pubs along the Loddon River, areas severely affected by flooding in 2022, on beautiful Dja Dja Wurrung and Barapa Barapa country. Five locations in the Loddon Valley (across Loddon Shire & Mount Alexander Shire) will host live music events over the first two weekends of October 2023. Tickets free for locals, and super-affordable for others! Money raised will go to local community groups and flood recovery.

The Live Music for Flood Recovery Program is supported by Music Victoria and by the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria. The program has supported many events throughout 2023, from small gigs in pubs featuring local musicians, to large-scale festivals and community events, with passionate artists supporting communities and sharing music to provide a space for impacted communities to revive, recover and gather together after a tumultuous year.

Whole Loddon Love is supported by Loddon Shire and Mount Alexander Shire Council, and is produced by regionally based Fionna Allan (Lady Adventurer Creative Projects) with support from Theatre Royal Castlemaine.
