How to do Woodford Folk Festival

Woodford Folk Festival is back from 27th December - 1st January, bigger, brighter and more whimsical than ever.

The Woodford Folk Festival experience is deep, rich and colourful - a veritable feast for the senses. Whether you're a seasoned campaigner or a Woodford newbie, here are some tips on how to survive the biggest party in the Moreton Bay Region.

Plan Ahead

Woodford Folk Festival is Australia's largest annual arts and music festival of its kind, gathering together more than 2,000 artists, musicians and presenters to perform across 35 venues over six huge days. With all that's going on, it's best to make a plan of who to see on what day. Take a highlighter to make up your program.

Just a taste of what to expect in the line-up:

  • Tia Gostelow
  • Killing Heidi
  • Amanda Palmer
  • Neil Gaiman
  • Kasey Chambers
  • Dr Karl Kruszelnicki

Pack Your Comfy Shoes

The Festival's home, Woodfordia, has been developed into a cultural parkland dedicated to the arts, humanities and lore. The huge ground has stages, shops, a tent city, food stalls and so much more to explore over a whopping 500 acres. That's a lot of ground to cover!

Take a Note Book

As well as great bands, interactive workshops and craft displays, the festival's program boasts a number of amazing speakers across a multitude of topics. Acclaimed speakers from all over the world will impart their wisdom for festival-goers to take in.

Have an Open Mind

Let go of any pre-conceived ideas about who you are, become fully immersed in the unique experience and interact with new people...you may just find yourself a new path to discover!

Bring the Kids

With a dedicated program of events just for kids and child-minding services, this is an event the whole family can enjoy. Find out more about the Woodford Children's Festival.
