2025 Hilltop Music Festival

Hilltop Music Festival is a vibrant community celebration set in the beautiful Dandenong Ranges. More than just a music event, Hilltop brings people together to enjoy live music, local food, art, and connection in a stunning natural setting.

Our annual festival features an eclectic local lineup of folk, roots, indie, blues and more — showcasing both emerging and established artists from our beloved hills. With delicious food, a variety of market stalls, an awesome playground and arts and craft activities there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

Hilltop is proudly run as a fundraiser for the Monbulk College Music Department, with all proceeds supporting music education, arts projects and First Nations education initiatives. In 2025, we're raising funds for a school-based music production program so our students can produce, record and distribute their own compositions.

At the heart of Hilltop is a commitment to community, sustainability, and inclusion. We support local businesses, promote eco-conscious practices, and create a welcoming space for all.

Come dance beneath the trees and celebrate the rhythm of Corhanwarrabul at Hilltop — where music meets community in the heart of the Dandenong Ranges.
