Woodford Folk Festival

The Woodford Folk Festival will not go ahead again this year over the Christmas/New Year period. The financial implications for large-scale events impacted by lockdowns are far too dire. While the organisers are pretty heartbroken to not be holding Woodford Folk Festival for another year, they have put their creative energies into the event “Bushtime”, which will be held over the 27th Dec 2021 – 1st Jan 2022.

The Woodford Folk Festival is a 6-day community festival that boasts over 2000 performers and over 400 events.

The festival is filled with music, theatre, film and comedy with heaps of programs for all ages to enjoy.

The Woodford Folk Festival started in 1986 and has grown today into one of the largest festival events on the Sunshine Coast. The festival is housed in over 35 venues, and there is a huge program scheduled again for 2022/2023.

Each year, you will find a program filled with live musical performances, poetry, film, writing workshops, stand-up comedy, environmental discussions and kids programs. There will be plenty of opportunities for arts and crafts as well as a community parade.

Season tickets can be purchased, which will cover you for the entire six days of the festival. If you are only buying a one-day ticket, you must specify the date you will attend. There are no two or 3-day tickets available. Camping is available during the festival. If you intend to camp overnight in a car, caravan, tent or motorhome, you must purchase a camping ticket. Camping sites are booked on a first-come, first-served basis.

A general store is located inside the festival grounds, and Shower and toilet facilities are available on all camping grounds. Tap water is available, but campers are requested to bring sufficient drinking water for their stay. The use of generators is not permitted inside the camping grounds, nor are pets or glass items allowed.

Purchase a parking permit to park onsite. There is EFTPOS available at the festival shop, an internet cafe located in the cyber garden, and there are also lockers for patrons use.
