Tumbafest 2022 is the first large-scale event to have been given the green light to run mask-free after more than two years of restrictions impending on all events.
Masks were scrapped on Friday, day one of the two-day event, and festival-goers said it couldn't have been better timing.
No amount of rain could stop Wagga mum Kelly Marchioni from making the most of the newly found freedom on Saturday when she braved the weather to dance to the sounds of Australian rock band Captain Jack.

"I've been hanging out for a dance for such a long time now."
