THE new-look Bay Escape Festival attracted thousands to Port MacDonnell on the weekend to enjoy a range of food, wine and activities on Saturday afternoon.

A fresh committee put on a successful event, with more than 4000 people walking through the festival gates on the weekend.

Not losing the family-friendly atmosphere of the long-running festival, there were several sources of entertainment for young children and adults alike.
