The National Folk Festival is a longstanding, Australian family friendly celebration of all aspects of folk music and culture. It is held every year during the Easter long weekend in Canberra.
The National Folk Festival is a hub for the Australian Folk community. We provide a meeting place to perform, share and develop folk traditions. We serve an evolving community that values participation, learning, listening and creating. We value the diversity of folk traditions in Australia, including First Nations culture and traditions, and traditions brought during colonisation and through subsequent and ongoing migration.
