Port Fairy Folk Festival

port_fairy_2012

Held in the picturesque fishing village of Port Fairy, Victoria, the event is one of the world’s great folk festivals with four day of fine music and a great atmosphere. 30,000 people descend upon the town to enjoy the often eclectic and at times downright quirky line-ups. We love Port Fairy and have attended quite a few tiimes over the years.

The festival presents a unique group of International and National artists - folk roots, blues, jazz, bluegrass, celtic roots, crossroads country and rock, and music of the world. 2012 will see the Festival celebrate 35 years delivering world class music to us all.

Artists are brought in from countries including Finland, Sweden, Canada, UK, USA, French-Algeria … and of course within Australia. With over 20 international and many national acts set the program pays homage to the best in folk music.

Absolutely stunning festival... Perfect location and weather. I enjoyed every moment of the 4 days. My only complaint is I didn't get to see every act. I'll be back next year!

Comment - Been to the festival? Thinking of going? Share your thoughts. What did you enjoy? What were the positives? Disappointed - then dish the dirt! Give us the goss! Dirty toilets long line? Fell in love? Great value or rip off? Looking for someone you met? Tell it how it is. No naughty words.


Rubbish Excellent
