Stone & Wood is hopping with excitement to announce the much-anticipated return of Festival of the Stone for 2025! This beloved event, now in its 11th year, will take place on Saturday 14 June at the Stone & Wood brewery in Byron Bay, bringing together music, community and the age-old tradition of brewing with the tapping of Stone & Wood’s annual batch of Stone Beer.
Following the sold out 2024 event that featured Dan Sultan, Beddy Rays, The Beefs, Verge Collection and more, Festival of the Stone 2025 is set to deliver another unforgettable day of top-notch Australian talent, freshly poured brews and delicious bites from local food vendors. Best of all, it’s for a great cause, with proceeds supporting Fletcher Street Cottage.
Stay tuned for Festival of the Stone’s 2025 lineup, coming soon!
The latest statistics on homelessness in NSW reveal that the Byron Shire has the highest rate of locals sleeping rough in the state, even higher than the City of Sydney. In 2024, 348 rough sleepers were recorded across the region, marking a 16% increase from February 2023. Festival of the Stone 2025 is proud to support Fletcher Street Cottage and help raise funds for their vital support hub. From providing essential services, information, referrals, practical support, advocacy and more, Fletcher Street Cottage is working hard to respond to this crisis and meet the needs of individuals facing homelessness.
Stone & Wood’s Stone Beer is an annual, limited-edition winter brew, a homage to ancient brewing traditions. Crafted with precise care and the finest local ingredients, this bold and distinctive beer features select Australian malts and a unique brewing process. Inspired by traditional methods, the brewers add heated stones directly to the brew kettle, infusing smoky caramel nuances that add depth and complexity to the beer. Resulting in a rich and satisfying porter with aromatic notes of brewed coffee, rich dark chocolate and subtle hints of smoked barley, creating a perfectly balanced and complex flavour profile.
Don’t miss out on the celebration of the year, and all for a worthy cause! Mark your calendars and join us in the Bay at Festival of the Stone 2025. Keep an eye on the website and socials for lineup announcements and access to the first ticket releases.
