Wet cash and weddings: Foreshore music festival’s untold stories

Key points

• Capital Brewing Co. co-founder Laurence Kain has shared behind-the-scenes stories from his years running the Foreshore Summer Music Festival in Canberra. He recalled the 2007 event, when heavy rain soaked the site and left the cash so wet it had to be dried in a clothes dryer before it could be counted.
• In 2008, a crush developed at entry barriers that had not been filled with water.
• Kain was also inducted into the Australian Hospitality Association's ACT Hall of Fame.
