A new energy of live music is set to arrive on the South Coast, with Dulcie’s Cottage proudly stepping into its next chapter as a home for unique and consistent entertainment. For more than a decade, Dulcie’s has been an institution in the region – a hospitality destination known for slinging cold drinks, delicious burgers, and creating countless good times for locals and visitors alike.

Now, Dulcie’s is extending that legacy beyond food and drink, committing to a regular program of live music that will showcase both local talent and touring acts from across the country and beyond. In collaboration with Nite-Rite Entertainment, October marks the debut of this new lineup, headlined by an exciting roster of artists that will bring fresh sounds and vibrant energy to the cottage.

This new chapter promises more than just entertainment – it’s about strengthening Dulcie’s place as a cultural hub on the South Coast. With free entry and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, everyone is invited to experience the music, the history, and the unmistakable charm of Dulcie’s as it evolves into a true destination for live performance.

“We’re thrilled to be bringing a new wave of artists to Merimbula,” the Dulcie’s team said. “For us, this is more than music – it’s a musical makeover for the region. Our promise to the people is to keep the energy alive, the music flowing, and to make Dulcie’s a stage where everyone feels welcome.”
