94.9MainFM’s highly anticipated and much-loved community event, the MAIN Game, returns for its seventh year this Sunday June 7.
The historic Camp Reserve in Castlemaine will host the annual battle royale between the Rockatoos and the Radio Galahs.
The MAIN Game brings footy and fundraising together for local radio station 94.9 MainFM, a cornerstone of the community for many years. Both teams, comprising local radio presenters, tradies, musicians and respectable community members are excited to put on a show while raising vital funds to support MainFM’s programming and community efforts.
It’s more than footy!
The event is family and dog friendly, with activities for the kids, MAIN Game merch, as well as food stalls – BBQ, donuts, pizza and coffee – not to mention the MAIN Bar, where you can grab a beverage, featuring two local Castlemaine breweries.
Music & Entertainment!
Castlemaine’s own dynamic brass ensemble, Thompson’s Foundry Band will set the tone with some brass brilliance ahead of the first bounce, with Elo & the Shinkicks taking the stage at the half-time break. Bring the kids and a footy so you can have a kick on the hallowed turf between quarters, just like the old days!
MainFM94.9 will broadcast all the sounds, sights and action from the ground with its informative and entertaining commentary team, Macca & Gus!
“There’s no doubt footy brings people together and the MAIN Game ticks all the boxes as a fun community event,” said Steph Riddel, Station Manager at MainFM.
“But it’s more than just footy – it’s a community footy music mini- festival fundraiser,” she said.
“Not only will this be an entertaining game of footy, but it’s also a fantastic way to show your support for MainFM, which plays such an important role in keeping the community connected.”
