Port Fairy Spring Fest - Music Festival
What?
Each October, Port Fairy, the picturesque fishing village on the Shipwreck Coast of Western Victoria, comes alive for a weekend of exciting and magical music. It was one of Australia's earliest ports and much of its traditional, colonial architecture has been carefully preserved to provide a town of great historic beauty. Since 1990 this perfect "festival town" has been host to the Port Fairy Spring Music Festival.
Audiences remark on the accessibility of the venues, which are within easy walking distance from one another. As the concerts usually last about one hour there is ample time to explore the town, beaches and world class golf course, or enjoy a meal or refreshment at one of the vast array of colourful and excellent cafes and restaurant
