Mark your calendars and grab your early bird tix! Port Fairy Folk Festival is set to make its much-anticipated return to the charming coastal town of Port Fairy, Victoria, from March 6 to 10, 2026.
Pre-sales are available now at portfairyfolkfestival.com.
Renowned for its unique blend of traditional and contemporary music from across the globe, the festival continues to bring together artists and community, creating an unparalleled celebration of music and storytelling, art and culture.
The first line-up announcement includes international names Åkervinda (SWE), Blair Dunlop (ENG), Beoga (IRE), Elephant Sessions (SCO), Iron & Wine (USA), Mary Coughlan (IRE), Steve Poltz (CAN) and The Swell Season (IRE/CZC), alongside local luminaries such Emma Donovan, Felicity Urquhart, Art & Josh Cunningham and the Pierce Brothers.
Over nearly five decades, this beloved not-for-profit celebration of folk and roots music has grown into a cultural institution, offering more than just an unforgettable weekend of live music.
Beyond the stages, festivalgoers can enjoy free performances, art exhibitions, a lively community market, hands-on workshops, and a variety of family-friendly experiences. All proceeds support vital local organisations including Moyne Health Service, Belfast Aquatic Centre, Port Fairy Surf Lifesaving Club, The Men’s Shed, and more – keeping the community spirit at the festival’s heart.
