It may be snowing in parts of Victoria but that's no reason to stay in all weekend, especially when the kindling is being lit for something this awesome — Ballarat Laneways.

The two-day event will descend upon Ballarat's cosy nooks and crannies and will boast some fantastic (free) live music from the likes of The Drones frontman Gareth Liddiard, post-punk lads Gold Class, Gabriella Cohen and more.

The Dead Salesmen Duo, Freya Josephine Hollic and Rhiannon Simpson & The Triple Delta will round out the bill. 

"It's really exciting to get up and coming acts like Gold Class and Gabriella to Ballarat in a unique environment, plus of course Gareth," Ballarat Laneways' Shaun Adams said.
 
"It's just a great chance to see some amazing local artists too. Added with the light show, tiki bar and food trucks, we are expecting it to be a awesome weekend."

Ballarat Laneways will be set up in the Art Gallery Annexe and Alfred Deakin Place with food trucks, a tiki bar, light shows and DJ sets to keep you busy this Friday 13 July and Saturday 14 July.
