  Offshore Festival
The Offshore Festival was a camp-out rock and alternative music festival held during Easter at a farm near Torquay, Victoria, Australia in the late 1990s, 2000 and 2001.
This resulted in the festival's inability to obtain a liquor license in 2001, and marked the end of their reign in Torquay.
In 2002, attempts were made to resurrect the festival in Torquay, and after a string of appeals, a liquor license was granted.

 Dubai Shopping Festival
The Dubai Shopping Festival was created back in 1996 as purely a retail event; however over the past 10 years the festival has been redeveloped, revamped and repackaged and now it is world renowned as a first class entertainment event for all the family to enjoy.
The motto for the Dubai Shopping Festival nowadays is ‘one world, one family, one festival’ and this entirely sums up the concept of this internationally inspired, family fun experience that combines the very best in shopping, entertainment and excitement.
Following on from the inimitable success of the Shopping Festival Dubai has recently created Dubai Summer Surprises which is a summertime sister to the Shopping Festival that takes place at the start of the year.

 The EquaTerra Summer Festival
Many of the companies leading the move to offshore have built up experience and understood the advantages of outsourcing because it was a tool they deployed in their domestic markets.
This is signaling a move to a global sourcing model in which a blend of offshore, nearshore and onshore is used to balance all risks and opportunities.
First, although the anecdotes may cite dissatisfaction with offshore elements, none of the client companies that have chosen to discuss the matter publicly, such as JP Morgan Chase, Sainsbury’s, Prudential and Cable and Wireless, have given this reason.

In the case of the Offshore Festival at Torquay, there is a small group of neighbours who complain with such clockwork precision that they themselves should seek funding for the art form it has become.
The Offshore organisers have majority council support and do have the permits to run a 2003 festival at Torquay, with the unhappy prospect of returning to VCAT again at the end of the year.

 2006 Tribeca Film Festival - The Offshore Reserves
The Offshore Reserves is a film born out of a dialogue between two friends from two different cultures (Alexander from Russia and Jamie from America).
The object was to cowrite, codirect, and coproduce a short film, and to do so meant that we had to confront the barriers of language and culture.
But we do mean to suggest that the play of the language barrier informed every aspect of the film's creation, and subsequently any and all conditions and meanings the viewer may find in the finished film.

Engossingly sagacious in observance and unremitting in economical prose, Offshore is a sententious written work of art that owes its eloquence to its timeless and picturesque narration as well as its breakneck character development.
It is certainly selfish, but I wish she began sharing her work before she was 69, in the end it does not matter, as the body of work she did produce will keep her in print for many lifetimes to come.
Fitzgerald wrote short novels; in "Offshore" she has compressed the story into a space that is at once confining and colorful as her books.

 Spacelab Music Review - Early Day Miners : Offshore
Offshore, the fifth full length release from Bloomington, Indiana’s Early Day Miners is more than your standard collection of songs – it’s an idea portrayed through six movements that blend seamlessly together.
Anchored by the brush drumming of Matt Griffin and melancholic guitar wails, Amber Webber (Black Mountain) lends her somber seductiveness to lines like “I’m losing you to your desires in rooms with ocean views.” Eventually, the song devolves into a jam on the same theme before transitioning into the ambient interlude of Silent Tent.
Offshore ends in the same fashion it began, with the slow building instrumental Hymn Beneath The Palasades.

Despite being extremely annoyed about the fact that I was stuck upstairs all night long, to try really hard to get a place where I could see the bands, it was still a fucking fantastic gig.
Reel Big Fish had a hard (although vastly different) act to follow at Offshore, since they were playing straight after Ben Harper who was mind-blowingly good.
The area was packed with about 20,000 people, a lot of whom cleared out after Ben Harper, which was probably a good thing, as the only people who stuck around were real fans, or people who were interested in seeing the band play, and there was plenty of room to skank.
