What happens at The Three Blue Ducks after dark?

Following a sold-out debut in 2025, Burn After Dark returns to Three Blue Ducks on Thursday, 2 July from 4pm to 10pm, offering an immersive winter night festival filled with fire, food, music and performances.

Created in collaboration with some of Byron Bay’s most creative local talent, Burn After Dark will transform The Farm into a family-friendly winter playground. Guests can wander between fire pits, live performances, music and food stalls and enjoy some of the region’s best musicians, and food and drink producers. The evening will feature live music from Felipe Baldomir, followed by a sunset DJ set from Dingo Balearico, while Circus Arts Byron Bay will bring extra flair with stilt walkers and fire performances.

Families can enjoy giant bubbles and the kids’ rave cave hosted by Shorty Brown, ensuring entertainment for both children and adults throughout the night. Food by The Ducks will include a dedicated fire-cooked skewer and snack bar, alongside hearty winter favourites and a special ducklings menu for younger guests.

Drinks will be flowing from Azteca Margarita’s pink caravan, alongside beers from Common People Brewing, and The Ducks’ own wine and soft drink bars.

A celebration of community, creativity and winter hospitality, Burn After Dark offers a uniquely Byron Bay experience, bringing together local food, music and performance in one unforgettable night.
